Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Richmond, North Yorkshire
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing in Richmond, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Bath re-enamelling in Richmond, done in place
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are wear marks under the taps and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Questions from Richmond
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Do you cover Richmond?
We do. We send a technician to Richmond for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Richmond
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Several chips and rust patches
- Stains that won’t shift
Comparing quotes
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- 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.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.
Why us?
- One visit for most repairs
- Work done at your home or business
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
See our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Never use suction bath mats
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Richmond as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

What affects the price in Richmond
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
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.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
