About our bath re-enamelling in Ellerby
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the next day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What affects the price in Ellerby
Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the whole bath
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
What a repair can’t fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths

What else we do in Ellerby
The process
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Ellerby
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Ellerby?
Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
