Bath re-enamelling at your home in Bolsterstone
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Typical jobs include worn patches where water runs and sits and an old resurfacing that’s failing, in acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

What’s near Bolsterstone

Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Bolsterstone. What changes the price is:
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally 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
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the entire bath
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

What else we do in Bolsterstone
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Questions from Bolsterstone
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Barnsley.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Repair or replace in Bolsterstone?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
