Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing usually wins. Prices start from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of 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.

Bath re-enamelling in Old Ellerby, done in place
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and chips and rust in more than one place.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- A bath that’s rusted through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
What we are called out for in Old Ellerby
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, generally first under the taps and around the waste.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Wear marks under the taps
What your quote should include
- When it can be used again
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Old Ellerby use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Common questions in Old Ellerby
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for 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.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Repair dripping taps early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
