Should I try a DIY kit 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 generally the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Old Bilton
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. If you are dealing with several chips and rust patches and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, we can typically put it right, on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths alike.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Old Bilton and across North Yorkshire.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Store bottles off the bath
- Repair dripping taps early
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
What affects the price in Old Bilton
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Old Bilton questions
Do you cover Old Bilton?
We do. We send a technician to Old Bilton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Are there extra charges for Old Bilton?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. 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.
