Bath re-enamelling in New Earswick without replacing anything
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We work on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people contact us are lots of chips and rust spots and an old resurfacing that’s failing.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Questions from New Earswick
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Are there extra charges for New Earswick?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How long is the bath unusable?
Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in New Earswick?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Store bottles off the bath
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in New Earswick, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

When to call us in New Earswick
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Wear marks under the taps
- Stains that will not shift
- A coating lifting around the plughole
What your quote should include
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes most of the day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
