Bath Re-enamelling for East Barnby homes
Problem with your bath in East Barnby? We repair it in place, match it on site and guarantee the work for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- A roll-top that is seen better days
How the visit works
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
Bath re-enamelling in East Barnby, done in place
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We work on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in East Barnby
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
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 matters when someone is living in the home.
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.
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 pay close attention there.
East Barnby questions
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
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.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Are there extra charges for East Barnby?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Common problems we fix in East Barnby

People generally call us after spotting something like this:
- Stains that will not shift
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Several chips and rust patches

Repair or replace: which is better?
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A bath that’s rusted through
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in East Barnby, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
