Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Bath re-enamelling in Sneaton, done in place
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. If you’re dealing with a roll-top that’s seen better days and chips and rust in more than one place, we can typically put it right, on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

FAQs for Sneaton
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Sneaton
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, typically first under the taps and around the waste.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
What to look for in a quote
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How soon you can use it again
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether a trained technician does the job

What else we do in Sneaton
The process
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a full day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- 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 until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Sneaton, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Landlord and trade work in Sneaton
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in North Yorkshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
