Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Carthorpe, North Yorkshire

Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. 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.
Why book with us
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- No need to remove anything

Bath re-enamelling in Carthorpe, done in place
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the next day. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are a roll-top that’s seen better days and stains that won’t shift.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Carthorpe
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A coloured bath you want in white
What your quote should include
- What prep work is covered
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes the best part of a day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Open a window if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Carthorpe. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Carthorpe
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in North Yorkshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Carthorpe
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
