About our bath re-enamelling in Fishergate
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. If you’re dealing with an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can help, on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Fishergate and across York.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
How it works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a full day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Common questions in Fishergate
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Fishergate?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
When to call us in Fishergate
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, usually first under the taps and around the waste.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A coating lifting around the plughole
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Why repair rather than replace?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Why us?
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Colour-matched on site
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- One price list for the whole UK
