Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Colton, Leeds

- Resurfacing from £350
- An old resurfacing that’s failing

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Bath re-enamelling in Colton, done in place
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. If you’re dealing with lots of chips and rust spots and a coloured bath you want in white, we can typically put it right, on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

FAQs for Colton
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
How long does re-enamelling last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.
Do you cover Colton?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Colton and the rest of Leeds. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Steel that has corroded right through
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a full day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
If you’re in Colton and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Common problems we fix in Colton
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Wear marks under the taps
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- A coloured bath you want in white
- An old resurfacing that is failing
Before you book anyone
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How your room will be protected
- How soon you can use it again
- If travel is included in the price
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
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.
