Bath re-enamelling at your home in Ingleby Barwick
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Common call-outs are for a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, in Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
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, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the whole bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A bath split right through the body
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Ingleby Barwick
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow the best part of a day, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Common questions in Ingleby Barwick
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Repairing versus replacing in Ingleby Barwick
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, 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. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
