Bath Re-enamelling for Filby homes
Damaged bath in Filby? We put it right where it is, match it on site and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Bath re-enamelling in Filby without replacing anything
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. If you’re dealing with wear marks under the taps and stains that won’t shift, we can help, on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays alike.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Filby as everywhere else we work.

For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Filby as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A bath split right through the body
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Filby
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Are there extra charges for Filby?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
