What affects the price in Northstead
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Bath re-enamelling in Northstead without replacing anything
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are an outdated colour you’d like to change and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Honest limits
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A bath split right through the body
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Why repair rather than replace?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Why book with us
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Work done at your home or business
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

Questions from Northstead
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your YO12 postcode.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Northstead included. Travel is included in the price.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you come to Northstead?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Northstead from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
