Bath re-enamelling in Tockwith, done in place
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It typically takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. If you’re dealing with staining under the taps and around the waste and several chips and rust patches, we can normally put it right.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Tockwith and across York.

Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

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
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the area is dry
- Clear the area around the damage

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the entire bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
If you are in Tockwith and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Repair dripping taps early
- Never use suction bath mats
- Respect the curing time we give you
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
