Bath re-enamelling at your home in Newsham
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We are frequently asked to fix a coating lifting around the plughole and staining under the taps and around the waste, on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Newsham and across North Yorkshire.

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 a new finish makes them look new again.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A photo taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Repair or replace in Newsham?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day, with the bath back in use the following day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Repair dripping taps early
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
FAQs for Newsham
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Do you cover Newsham?
We do. We send a technician to Newsham for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
