Bath Re-enamelling for Slingsby homes
Damaged bath in Slingsby? We put it right where it is, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Stains that won’t shift
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
About our bath re-enamelling in Slingsby
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. Common call-outs are for brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a coating lifting around the plughole, on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
If you are in Slingsby and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Slingsby
Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Several chips and rust patches
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Repairing versus replacing in Slingsby
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- No extra charge for your area
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

The process
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
Slingsby: your questions answered
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will the bath be moved?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Are there extra charges for Slingsby?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
