Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Kirkby Overblow, North Yorkshire
Fixed-price bath re-enamelling in Kirkby Overblow and the surrounding area, generally in one visit.
- Resurfacing from £350

- A roll-top that’s seen better days
DIY kit or professional repair?
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Kirkby Overblow
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We are often asked to fix a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and wear marks under the taps, on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a full day. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Common questions in Kirkby Overblow
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths, ready the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Kirkby Overblow. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Landlord and trade work in Kirkby Overblow

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
What we cannot put right
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A bath that’s rusted through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
If you’re in Kirkby Overblow and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
