Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Gateforth, North Yorkshire
Damaged bath in Gateforth? We put it right where it is, mix the colour on the day and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Bath re-enamelling in Gateforth without replacing anything
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Whether it’s a coloured bath you want in white and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can help, on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repair or replace: which is better?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Questions from Gateforth
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote. You are under no obligation.
Do you cover Gateforth?
We do. We send a technician to Gateforth for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Gateforth?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your YO8 postcode.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Gateforth?
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.
Clients normally contact us about:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Several chips and rust patches
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

- A metal bath with a through crack
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Gateforth. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
If you manage property in Gateforth, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
