About our bath re-enamelling in Denby
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Whether it’s stains that won’t shift and a coloured bath you want in white, we can usually put it right, on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Have chips seen to early
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Repair dripping taps early
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Common questions in Denby
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the following day. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Other services in Denby
Repair or replace in Denby?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: 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 normally wins. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- Most jobs done in one visit
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- One price list for the whole UK
- Colour-matched on site
See our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Denby?
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is normally perfectly sound.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
Questions to ask before you book
- When it can be used again
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What happens if they find more damage
How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a full day.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
