What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Routh
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes most of the day for most jobs. The room is left tidy.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know about parking or access

Advice
Questions from Routh
Does the bath have to be removed?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across East Riding of Yorkshire.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Routh
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Routh
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
People normally call us when they notice something like this:
- Stains that will not shift
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Routh. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your HU17 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Should you replace it?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Can I fix it myself?
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
