Bath re-enamelling in King Cross without replacing anything
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Whether it’s stains that won’t shift and a coloured bath you want in white, we can usually put it right, on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays alike.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Calderdale.

How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
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.
Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
When we’d advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
What affects the price in King Cross
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- A picture taken from further back
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Common problems we fix in King Cross
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Stains that will not shift
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Wear marks under the taps
Questions to ask before you book
- Aftercare advice
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- When it can be used again
- What preparation is included
Should you replace it?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
What you get with us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- One price list for the whole UK
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Most jobs done in one visit
