Can you price it without visiting?

Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Bath re-enamelling in Harmby, done in place
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Typical jobs include a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, in pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Harmby and across North Yorkshire.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Landlord and trade work in Harmby
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in North Yorkshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Have chips seen to early
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a full day for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Should you replace it?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, 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. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

- Fixed prices from your pictures

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 frequently lifts.
