How we handle bath re-enamelling in Smelthouses
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying 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 a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and stains that won’t shift, across basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in North Yorkshire.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Smelthouses as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Smelthouses
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Wear marks under the taps
Questions to ask before booking
- If travel is included in the price
- How to look after the finish
- How your room will be protected
- Whether the colour is mixed to match

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Have chips seen to early
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes most of the day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Smelthouses: your questions answered
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Smelthouses?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Why repair rather than replace?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Prices start from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
