Bath re-enamelling in Kirkleatham, done in place
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We’re often asked to fix thin, worn enamel in places and a coloured bath you want in white, in basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Steel that has corroded right through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Kirkleatham
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Kirkleatham, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes most of the day. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Kirkleatham. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Kirkleatham, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. 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.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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 is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
