How we handle bath re-enamelling in Filey
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Our technicians work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and staining under the taps and around the waste.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Have chips seen to early
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Filey?
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Chips and rust in more than one place
What your quote should include
- How to look after the finish
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Who turns up on the day
- When it can be used again
What a repair cannot fix
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
