Bath re-enamelling in Long Drax, done in place
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are lots of chips and rust spots and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in North Yorkshire.

Common problems we fix in Long Drax
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
People normally call us when they notice one of these:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Wear marks under the taps
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
Questions to ask before booking
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Respect the curing time we give you
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Common questions in Long Drax
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Long Drax?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
How long is the bath unusable?
Normally one day, with the bath ready the next day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
What we do, step by step
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take most of the day, tidy-up included.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What affects the price in Long Drax
Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Long Drax. The price comes down to:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A picture taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Landlord and trade work in Long Drax
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Long Drax as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Repair or replace in Long Drax?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Long Drax. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why Long Drax customers choose us
- Work done at your home or business
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- We leave the room as we found it

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
