How we handle bath re-enamelling in Inglemire
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We work on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about a coating lifting around the plughole and several chips and rust patches.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Inglemire. The price comes down to:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
For a price in Inglemire, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes the best part of a day for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A bath split right through the body
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Repair dripping taps early
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Inglemire
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Inglemire and the rest of Hull. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How long is the bath unusable?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
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 are called out for in Inglemire
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Look out for any of the following:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
What your quote should include
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Who will actually do the work
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Should you replace it?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface without moving it. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
What you get with us
- One visit for most repairs
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Work done at your home or business
