- Resurfacing from £350
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
About our bath re-enamelling in Elvington
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. If you are dealing with wear marks under the taps and several chips and rust patches, we can typically put it right.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Elvington?
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Elvington as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Repair or replace in Elvington?
Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures

Elvington: your questions answered
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens after I send pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Typically one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Elvington
