How we handle bath re-enamelling in Copmanthorpe
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Common call-outs are for a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, in Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Repairing versus replacing in Copmanthorpe
Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, with the bath ready the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Copmanthorpe
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 normally cheaper.
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.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a full day. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
