How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the entire bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
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. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
About our bath re-enamelling in Kettlethorpe
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. If you’re dealing with enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and stains that won’t shift, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

What else we do in Kettlethorpe
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Wakefield and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes most of the day for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.

Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Store bottles off the bath
- Respect the curing time we give you
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Kettlethorpe
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Wear marks under the taps
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off

FAQs for Kettlethorpe
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Are there extra charges for Kettlethorpe?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Repair or replace in Kettlethorpe?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Kettlethorpe. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
What you get with us
