Bath re-enamelling at your home in Moorthorpe
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Typical jobs include a coloured bath you want in white and chips and rust in more than one place, in basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

When to call us in Moorthorpe
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use. The body of the bath is usually perfectly sound.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- A coloured bath you want in white
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
What to look for in a quote
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day, with the bath back in use the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Moorthorpe. The price comes down to:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A metal bath with a through crack
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Never use suction bath mats
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not 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.

Related advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
