How we handle bath re-enamelling in Sproxton
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Our technicians work on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people contact us are a coating lifting around the plughole and an outdated colour you’d like to change.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Questions from Sproxton
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
How long is the bath unusable?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Sproxton?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Are there extra charges for Sproxton?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Repairing versus replacing in Sproxton
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
What you get with us
- Everything repaired in place
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Typically one visit, start to finish

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Never use suction bath mats
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Common problems we fix in Sproxton
Older baths frequently have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
