Bath Re-enamelling for Ibthorpe homes
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing in Ibthorpe, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A roll-top that is seen better days
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Questions from Ibthorpe
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Ibthorpe.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Ibthorpe?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Why repair rather than replace?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why us?
- Work done at your home or business
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Same prices wherever you are
- One visit for most repairs

What we’re called out for in Ibthorpe
Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
Before booking anyone
- If travel is included in the price
- How the colour is matched
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
What we can’t put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It normally takes a full day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- 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 next day, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
