Bath Re-enamelling for Brandsby homes
Our technicians come to Brandsby for full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Brandsby
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Typical jobs include thin, worn enamel in places and an old resurfacing that’s failing, on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Brandsby use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
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.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
What affects the price in Brandsby
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Brandsby. The price comes down to:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire bath
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
When to call us in Brandsby
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Several chips and rust patches
Questions to ask before booking

- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What happens if they find more damage
- How the colour is matched
Brandsby questions
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across North Yorkshire.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Brandsby?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take the best part of a day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Should you replace it?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
