Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Holtby. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Bath re-enamelling in Holtby without replacing anything
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Whether it’s a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and an outdated colour you’d like to change, we can typically put it right, on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

What else we do in Holtby
Holtby: your questions answered
Do you cover the whole of York?
We cover the whole UK, including Holtby and the rest of York. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote. There’s no obligation to book.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Generally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- A bath split right through the body
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Holtby
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Landlord and trade work in Holtby
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Why repair rather than replace?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Why Holtby clients choose us
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- No need to remove anything
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
