Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Yarnacott
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is normally perfectly sound.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
Questions to ask before booking
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How long it needs to cure
- If travel is included in the price
- What prep work is covered
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Store bottles off the bath
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
What your bath is made of matters
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 the part we put right.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

FAQs for Yarnacott
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A picture taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Yarnacott, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Why repair rather than replace?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
