Bath re-enamelling in Scosthrop without replacing anything
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Typical jobs include an outdated colour you’d like to change and several chips and rust patches, in acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Scosthrop and across North Yorkshire.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A bath that’s rusted through
- A bath split right through the body
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Repair or replace in Scosthrop?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Scosthrop: your questions answered
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Common problems we fix in Scosthrop
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes the best part of a day for most jobs. The room is left tidy.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your BD23 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Store bottles off the bath
- Never use suction bath mats
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
