How we handle bath re-enamelling in Hovingham
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Our repair technicians work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath in a colour that no longer suits and lots of chips and rust spots.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Hovingham. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
When to call us in Hovingham
Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
Look out for these signs:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Hovingham
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
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.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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 often lifts.
Why repair rather than replace?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
