Bath Re-enamelling for Acaster Selby homes
Damaged bath in Acaster Selby? We put it right where it is, mix the colour on the day and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350

What happens on the day
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
Bath re-enamelling in Acaster Selby, done in place
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people contact us are a coloured bath you want in white and a roll-top that’s seen better days.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Repair or replace: which is better?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- No need to remove anything
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
What we’re called out for in Acaster Selby
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Wear marks under the taps
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Chips and rust in more than one place
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- How changes to the job are handled
- What preparation is included
- How your room will be protected
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Repair dripping taps early
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Have chips seen to early
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
