Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Long Marston, York
Local bath re-enamelling for Long Marston: a fixed quote from pictures, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Wear marks under the taps
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Never use suction bath mats
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Long Marston
We don’t 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 following day. We are frequently asked to fix stains that won’t shift and chips and rust in more than one place, on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Why repair rather than replace?
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Why book with us
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- We leave the room as we found it
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

FAQs for Long Marston
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Usually, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
