Elkesley questions
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Do you work in Elkesley?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Elkesley. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Elkesley
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We work on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people contact us are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and an old resurfacing that’s failing.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Elkesley?
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Elkesley. The price reflects:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
