How we handle bath re-enamelling in Barkby
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Whether it’s stains that won’t shift and a coloured bath you want in white, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Barkby
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Do you cover Barkby?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Barkby. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you quote from pictures?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Barkby?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Should you replace it?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Barkby. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why book with us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- A fixed quote before you book

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Have chips seen to early
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow most of the day, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
