Bath re-enamelling in Raw without replacing anything
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Typical jobs include enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and wear marks under the taps, in pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in North Yorkshire.

What we’re called out for in Raw
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
Questions to ask before booking
- What aftercare is recommended
- When it can be used again
- Who turns up on the day
- What preparation is included
Repairing versus replacing in Raw
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. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What else we do in Raw
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
For a price in Raw, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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 typically cheaper.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Never use suction bath mats
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Repair dripping taps early
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
The process
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for most of the day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

FAQs for Raw
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Raw as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
