Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Scarborough, North Yorkshire
Bath re-enamelling across Scarborough and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases.
- Resurfacing from £350
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A coloured bath you want in white
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
About our bath re-enamelling in Scarborough
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
Most customers in Scarborough get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Landlord and trade work in Scarborough
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Questions from Scarborough
Do you work in Scarborough?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Scarborough for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Which areas do you work in?
All of North Yorkshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a full day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Repair or replace in Scarborough?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Why book with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Colour-matched on site
- One price list for the entire UK
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Scarborough
Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, generally first under the taps and around the waste.
Common reasons people in Scarborough contact us include:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
What your quote should include
- How your room will be protected
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What happens if they find more damage
- How to care for the finish
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
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.
