About our bath re-enamelling in Ugglebarnby
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. If you’re dealing with a roll-top that’s seen better days and a coloured bath you want in white, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, 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. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a full day in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- 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 on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

FAQs for Ugglebarnby
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Ugglebarnby?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A bath split right through the body
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
What affects the price in Ugglebarnby

- The type of damage

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- One picture of the entire bath
