Bath re-enamelling in Malton, done in place
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Common call-outs are for a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, in pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes the best part of a day in most cases. The room is left tidy.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

When to call us in Malton
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Wear marks under the taps
- Lots of chips and rust spots
What to look for in a quote
- How to look after the finish
- How your room will be protected
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Malton as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Questions from Malton
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A bath split right through the body
- Steel that has corroded right through
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done 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.
Other services in Malton
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
