Bath re-enamelling at your home in Rawcliffe
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Whether it’s chips and rust in more than one place and a coloured bath you want in white, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take most of the day, tidy-up included.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for 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 to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A picture taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Rawcliffe: your questions answered
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Which areas do you work in?
All of York, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths, ready the following day. We give you timings with the quote.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
When we would advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Rawcliffe?
Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price covers travel
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Respect the curing time we give you
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
