Bath re-enamelling in Shiptonthorpe without replacing anything
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Our technicians work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and worn patches where water runs and sits.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Riding of Yorkshire.

How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Shiptonthorpe: your questions answered
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Do you cover the whole of East Riding of Yorkshire?
All of East Riding of Yorkshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a full day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
