Bath re-enamelling in Flaxby, done in place
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We are often asked to fix a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and staining under the taps and around the waste, across Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Flaxby and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Other services in Flaxby
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
For anyone letting property in or around Flaxby, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Repair or replace in Flaxby?
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. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Common questions in Flaxby
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your HG5 postcode.
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.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A picture taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
How it works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Store bottles off the bath
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
