Bath re-enamelling in Ingleby without replacing anything
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the day after. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Whether it’s a coating lifting around the plughole and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a full day.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Questions from Ingleby
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Ingleby
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Several chips and rust patches
- Thin, worn enamel in places
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- If travel is included in the price
- What aftercare is recommended
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
