About our bath re-enamelling in Kirby Misperton
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It typically takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We regularly repair acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and people most often call us about a coating lifting around the plughole and worn patches where water runs and sits.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in North Yorkshire.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Kirby Misperton
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes the best part of a day for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know about parking or access

Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- The material
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Repairing versus replacing in Kirby Misperton
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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.

When to call us in Kirby Misperton
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
