How we handle bath re-enamelling in Embsay
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. If you are dealing with a bath in a colour that no longer suits and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can help.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

What affects the price in Embsay
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Embsay. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the entire bath
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

For anyone letting property in or around Embsay, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Should you replace it?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Store bottles off the bath
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
