Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Whitley, East Riding of Yorkshire
We travel to Whitley for full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A roll-top that is seen better days
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Whitley
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Whether it’s a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and thin, worn enamel in places, we can normally put it right.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What else we do in Whitley
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Store bottles off the bath
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Repairing versus replacing in Whitley
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day, with the bath back in use the day after. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Whitley questions
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
How the visit works
Your technician turns 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 most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Related advice
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A photo taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
