About our bath re-enamelling in Earlsheaton
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the next day. Common call-outs are for chips and rust in more than one place and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, in basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Earlsheaton
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Earlsheaton?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
How long is the bath unusable?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. Inside and out.
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
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.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Should you replace it?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
People normally call us after spotting one of these:
- Wear marks under the taps
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Chips and rust in more than one place

- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear the area around the damage

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.
What a repair cannot fix
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A bath split right through the body
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
