Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- An old resurfacing that is failing

Bath re-enamelling in Laxton, done in place
We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the day after. Typical jobs include an outdated colour you’d like to change and stains that won’t shift, in cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Near you in Laxton
Locally, our jobs take us to homes close to St Peter's Church and the streets around them. There is a railway station in Laxton itself: Saltmarshe station. A little further out are Goole and District Hospital (3.1 miles west). Green spaces nearby include Blacktoft Sands RSPB reserve.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Laxton
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Laxton: your questions answered
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Usually, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
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.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a full day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have a window or extractor fan available

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Should you replace it?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
