Ousethorpe questions
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
What happens after I send pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your YO42 postcode.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Bath re-enamelling in Ousethorpe without replacing anything
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Whether it’s a roll-top that’s seen better days and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can generally put it right.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in East Riding of Yorkshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes the best part of a day for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Ousethorpe. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A photo taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Most clients in Ousethorpe get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Steel that has corroded right through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- One-year guarantee on every repair

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
