- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Bath re-enamelling in Galphay without replacing anything
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. If you’re dealing with several chips and rust patches and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can typically put it right.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Galphay and across North Yorkshire.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing 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.
Common questions in Galphay
How long does re-enamelling take?
Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Do you cover Galphay?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Galphay for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
How it works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow the best part of a day. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Galphay
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in North Yorkshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Common problems we fix in Galphay
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Customers typically contact us about:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
What to look for in a quote
- Who will actually do the work
- What preparation is included
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How the room is protected while they work
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Galphay. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
