What your bath is made of matters
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.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Brough
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people contact us are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a coating lifting around the plughole.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
What you get with us
- No extra charge for your area
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
What else we do in Brough
Common questions in Brough
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Brough?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
How long is the bath unusable?
Generally one day, with the bath ready the next day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A bath that is rusted through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A metal bath with a through crack
