Bath re-enamelling in Ingbirchworth without replacing anything
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Ingbirchworth and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ingbirchworth
If you manage property in Ingbirchworth, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
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 is what we repair.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Ingbirchworth questions
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Barnsley.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Ingbirchworth?

- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Store bottles off the bath
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
