Bath Re-enamelling in Ferrensby
Problem with your bath in Ferrensby? We repair it in place, match it on site and guarantee the work for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A coating lifting around the plughole
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Bath re-enamelling in Ferrensby without replacing anything
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is generally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Whether it’s a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, we can help.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Do you cover Ferrensby?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Ferrensby. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What affects the price in Ferrensby

- How many areas need work

Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Ferrensby?
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
The things customers generally mention when they call include:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Several chips and rust patches
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down 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 are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Ferrensby. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know about parking or access
