Bath re-enamelling at your home in Bilbrough
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We’re frequently asked to fix staining under the taps and around the waste and an old resurfacing that’s failing, on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your YO23 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow the best part of a day.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the day after.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
Questions from Bilbrough
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across York.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Usually, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.
Repair or replace in Bilbrough?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Bilbrough. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

When to call us in Bilbrough
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Common reasons people in Bilbrough contact us include:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Wear marks under the taps
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
What to look for in a quote
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How soon you can use it again
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Have chips seen to early
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
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.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
