How we handle bath re-enamelling in Exelby
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a coloured bath you want in white and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Have chips seen to early
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Common problems we fix in Exelby
Often the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A coloured bath you want in white
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- If travel is included in the price
- Aftercare advice
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your photos
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Exelby
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
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.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A bath split right through the body
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Why repair rather than replace?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why book with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Colour-matched on site
