Bath re-enamelling at your home in Bootham
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and people most frequently call us about a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and an old resurfacing that’s failing.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
How it works
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes the best part of a day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Have chips seen to early
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Bootham. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Most clients in Bootham get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Repair or replace in Bootham?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually.
