When to call us in Dringhouses
Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, normally first under the taps and around the waste.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
What your quote should include
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What preparation is included
Bath re-enamelling in Dringhouses without replacing anything
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Our technicians work on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about worn patches where water runs and sits and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in York.

Dringhouses questions
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why book with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- One price list for the whole UK

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a full day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- 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.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
