How we handle bath re-enamelling in Flanshaw
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Whether it’s worn patches where water runs and sits and a coating lifting around the plughole, we can help, on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths alike.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Wakefield.

What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Should you replace it?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Common problems we fix in Flanshaw
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Stains that won’t shift

What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
