Bath re-enamelling in Kilnsey without replacing anything
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Typical jobs include a coating lifting around the plughole and chips and rust in more than one place, across Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Kilnsey: your questions answered
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. Inside and out.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Are there extra charges for Kilnsey?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across North Yorkshire.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
If you manage property in Kilnsey, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A picture taken from further back
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What we’re called out for in Kilnsey
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, generally first under the taps and around the waste.
Look out for any of the following:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Who turns up on the day
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Why repair rather than replace?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day, with the bath back in use the next day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for the best part of a day. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
