Bath re-enamelling in Searby without replacing anything
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Common call-outs are for brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, in Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Searby?
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
People usually call us after spotting one of these:
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
What your quote should include
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What prep work is covered

Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Searby: your questions answered
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths, ready the following day. We give you timings with the quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Store bottles off the bath
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Repair or replace: which is better?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why us?
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Searby. The price reflects:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Searby. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the entire bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Searby, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
