Bath re-enamelling in Thorpe Underwood without replacing anything
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are an outdated colour you’d like to change and an old resurfacing that’s failing.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Thorpe Underwood and across York.

Common questions in Thorpe Underwood
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you cover Thorpe Underwood?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Thorpe Underwood and the rest of York. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across York.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What we can’t put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A bath split right through the body
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
Why repair rather than replace?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in Thorpe Underwood
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Thorpe Underwood?
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Lots of chips and rust spots
What your quote should include
- Aftercare advice
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How the colour is matched
How the visit works
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Related advice
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Repair dripping taps early
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
