Bath re-enamelling at your home in Osbaldwick
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath in a colour that no longer suits and lots of chips and rust spots.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repairing versus replacing in Osbaldwick
Replacing a bath generally 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. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Why us?
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Everything repaired in place

Landlord and trade work in Osbaldwick
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Osbaldwick as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a full day, tidy-up included.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Make sure the area is dry
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
FAQs for Osbaldwick
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Osbaldwick, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
