Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Tunstall, East Riding of Yorkshire
Bath re-enamelling in and around Tunstall: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Bath re-enamelling in Tunstall, done in place
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and chips and rust in more than one place.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Respect the curing time we give you
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Landlord and trade work in Tunstall
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Common questions in Tunstall
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Normally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Common problems we fix in Tunstall
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Worn patches where water runs and sits

How the visit works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for most of the day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Ensure the area is dry
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: 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.
