About our bath re-enamelling in Strensall
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Whether it’s an outdated colour you’d like to change and thin, worn enamel in places, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Repairing versus replacing in Strensall
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day, with the bath back in use the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Questions from Strensall
How long is the bath unusable?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the following day. We give you timings with the quote.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Do you cover Strensall?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Strensall. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths

What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Strensall. The price reflects:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
