Bath re-enamelling in Waitby without replacing anything
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 If you are dealing with worn patches where water runs and sits and an outdated colour you’d like to change, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Repair or replace in Waitby?
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good.

When a repair is not the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Steel that has corroded right through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Never use suction bath mats
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Have chips seen to early
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
When to call us in Waitby
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
The things clients usually mention when they call are:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Stains that won’t shift
Questions to ask before you book
- If travel is included in the price
- What happens if they find more damage
- Who turns up on the day
- How to look after the finish
Landlord and trade work in Waitby
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Can I fix it myself?
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 usually cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
