How we handle bath re-enamelling in Cold Hiendley
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We regularly repair acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Cold Hiendley and across Wakefield.

What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Why repair rather than replace?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

See our full price list and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
What we’re called out for in Cold Hiendley
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
The things customers usually mention when they call include:
- Wear marks under the taps
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Several chips and rust patches
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
Before you book anyone
- What happens if they find more damage
- If travel is included in the price
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Who will actually do the work
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Store bottles off the bath
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

What we can’t put right

- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
