About our bath re-enamelling in Barnburgh
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Common call-outs are for staining under the taps and around the waste and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repairing versus replacing in Barnburgh
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
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 is what we repair.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Barnburgh as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
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.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Barnburgh
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Do you cover Barnburgh?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Barnburgh and the rest of Doncaster. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Barnburgh. The price depends on:
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- A picture taken from further back
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes most of the day for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
