Bath re-enamelling in Northorpe without replacing anything
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the day after. If you are dealing with lots of chips and rust spots and an old resurfacing that’s failing, we can usually put it right.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Common problems we fix in Northorpe
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Look out for any of the following:
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
Questions to ask before you book
- When it can be used again
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How changes to the job are handled
- How the room is protected while they work
Common questions in Northorpe
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How it works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes the best part of a day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Should you replace it?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Northorpe. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
