About our bath re-enamelling in Hartforth
We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Common call-outs are for lots of chips and rust spots and worn patches where water runs and sits, across pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in North Yorkshire.

Hartforth: your questions answered
Will the new finish last?
Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do you work in Hartforth?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Hartforth for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Have chips seen to early
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Repairing versus replacing in Hartforth
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. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Hartforth. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

- One price list for the whole UK
- Work done at your home or business

- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- 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 following day, the bath is ready.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Hartforth
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Common reasons people in Hartforth contact us include:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether the price covers travel
- Who turns up on the day
- What happens if they find more damage
What we cannot put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Holes rusted through the metal
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.
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.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A photo taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
