How we handle bath re-enamelling in Earswick
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Whether it’s a peeling or bubbling previous coating and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can normally put it right.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Earswick. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
For a price in Earswick, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
Landlord and trade work in Earswick
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a full day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- 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 several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the next day.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Earswick
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Generally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you cover the whole of York?
The entire UK, including all of York. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
