Bath re-enamelling at your home in Holbeck
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Our technicians work on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are staining under the taps and around the waste and lots of chips and rust spots.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Repair or replace in Holbeck?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Related advice
What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A metal bath with a through crack
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Store bottles off the bath
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Landlord and trade work in Holbeck
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

What else we do in Holbeck
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Holbeck
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You will get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Are there extra charges for Holbeck?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
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.
Do you work in Holbeck?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Holbeck for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Holbeck?
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
The things customers generally mention when they call are:
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A coating lifting around the plughole

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A picture taken from further back
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
