Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Askham Richard
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. If you’re dealing with lots of chips and rust spots and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, we can normally put it right.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Repair dripping taps early
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Common questions in Askham Richard
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the following day. We give you timings with the quote.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes Askham Richard. Prices don’t change with location.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

- Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
