About our bath re-enamelling in Skelton on Ure
We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It normally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

The process
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- 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.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Skelton on Ure
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you work in Skelton on Ure?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Skelton on Ure. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Skelton on Ure.
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Store bottles off the bath
- Never use suction bath mats
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
