Bath re-enamelling in Plompton without replacing anything
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. If you are dealing with staining under the taps and around the waste and a coloured bath you want in white, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in North Yorkshire.

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, 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 Plompton clients choose us
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Plompton
For anyone letting property in or around Plompton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow the best part of a day. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the day after.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

What we are called out for in Plompton
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Wear marks under the taps
- A coating lifting around the plughole
Questions to ask before you book
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the price covers travel
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether they match the colour on site
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Plompton
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
