How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
Most customers in Mappleton get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Bath re-enamelling in Mappleton without replacing anything
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We work on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are an outdated colour you’d like to change and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
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 is what we repair.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Mappleton
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. The body of the bath is normally perfectly sound.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Wear marks under the taps
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

What else we do in Mappleton
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A bath that is rusted through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day. Prices start from £350. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Mappleton
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Mappleton
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your HU18 postcode.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
