Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Ellerburn, North Yorkshire
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing in Ellerburn, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Ellerburn
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Whether it’s a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and an outdated colour you’d like to change, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why book with us
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Colour mixed on the day to match

Repairs by material
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.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
