Bath re-enamelling in Barlby, done in place
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. If you are dealing with thin, worn enamel in places and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can help, whatever the material.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in North Yorkshire.

How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a full day. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
Should you replace it?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the following day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why us?
- We leave the room as we found it
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Same prices wherever you are
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Common questions in Barlby
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do you come to Barlby?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Barlby. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
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
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
