About our bath re-enamelling in Knowsthorpe
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It normally takes one visit, and can be used again the day after. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and staining under the taps and around the waste.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

What affects the price in Knowsthorpe
Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Knowsthorpe. The price reflects:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- A photo taken from further back
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Repair or replace in Knowsthorpe?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day, with the bath back in use the next day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for the best part of a day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Get a quote
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
When to call us in Knowsthorpe
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
The things customers usually mention when they call include:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
Questions to ask before booking
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- If travel is included in the price
