Bath Re-enamelling in Far Bank
Damaged bath in Far Bank? We repair it in place, match it on site and guarantee the work for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A roll-top that is seen better days
How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Far Bank
We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It generally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Typical jobs include a coloured bath you want in white and chips and rust in more than one place, in pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Doncaster.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
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.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Common questions in Far Bank
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Doncaster.
Do you cover the whole of Doncaster?
Across the UK, so Far Bank is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. Inside and out.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price, typically with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
How long does re-enamelling last?
Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
What affects the price in Far Bank
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
If you’re in Far Bank and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Why repair rather than replace?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What we can’t put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
