What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- One picture of the entire bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
You don’t 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 come back to you with a fixed figure.
About our bath re-enamelling in Scotton
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We are frequently asked to fix stains that won’t shift and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Scotton and across North Yorkshire.

How it works
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

What else we do in Scotton
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Have chips seen to early
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Store bottles off the bath
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Repair or replace in Scotton?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Scotton questions
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Scotton.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do you cover Scotton?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Scotton and the rest of North Yorkshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 is not prepared the repair will not last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
