Bath re-enamelling at your home in Normanby
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We’re frequently asked to fix a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and several chips and rust patches, in Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Normanby questions
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Normanby?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your TS6 postcode.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Typically, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How long will the bath be out of use?
One day for most baths, ready the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Advice
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your TS6 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Normanby
- Acrylic baths

Repairing versus replacing in Normanby
Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Normanby?
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
What your quote should include
- When it can be used again
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What aftercare is recommended
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Never use suction bath mats
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
