Bath re-enamelling in Knaresborough, done in place
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’re frequently asked to fix a roll-top that’s seen better days and thin, worn enamel in places, in cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Questions from Knaresborough
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across North Yorkshire.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Which areas do you work in?
All of North Yorkshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Knaresborough, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
