About our bath re-enamelling in Brawby
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We’re frequently asked to fix stains that won’t shift and a coloured bath you want in white, across acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Should you replace it?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Store bottles off the bath
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
When to call us in Brawby
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
People generally call us when they notice something like this:
- Wear marks under the taps
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
What to look for in a quote
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How soon you can use it again

- What preparation is included
Brawby questions
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
What areas do you cover?
All of North Yorkshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow the best part of a day. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- 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.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
