How we handle bath re-enamelling in Barnby
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Typical jobs include several chips and rust patches and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, across Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

FAQs for Barnby
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Barnby included. Travel is included in the price.
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Do you cover Barnby?
We do. We send a technician to Barnby for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
When to call us in Barnby
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Wear marks under the taps
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
What to look for in a quote
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How soon you can use it again
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether they match the colour on site
What a repair can’t fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
Landlord and trade work in Barnby
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Barnby use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Store bottles off the bath
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
