About our bath re-enamelling in Skelton
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It usually takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We are often asked to fix staining under the taps and around the waste and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, in basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Skelton questions
Are there extra charges for Skelton?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How long is the bath unusable?
Usually one day, with the bath ready the next day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Generally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Skelton?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you cover the entire of York?
The whole UK, including all of York. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Do you come to Skelton?
We do. We send a technician to Skelton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Should you replace it?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a full day, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- 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.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
What affects the price in Skelton
Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Skelton. What changes the price is:
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Skelton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
