Bath re-enamelling at your home in Chapelthorpe
We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We work on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about an outdated colour you’d like to change and a coating lifting around the plughole.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

When to call us in Chapelthorpe
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

What else we do in Chapelthorpe

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the entire bath
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes a full day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Related advice
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Chapelthorpe
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you cover the whole of Wakefield?
The whole UK, including all of Wakefield. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Should you replace it?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Prices start from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
