Bath re-enamelling at your home in Gilroyd
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about a coloured bath you want in white and a roll-top that’s seen better days.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Work for landlords and builders
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.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Have chips seen to early
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
What a repair cannot fix
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A bath that is rusted through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Gilroyd questions
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you cover the entire of Barnsley?
We work UK-wide, so Gilroyd is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- 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 until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
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 entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
What you get with us
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Usually one visit, start to finish

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
