Bath re-enamelling at your home in Knottingley
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Whether it’s staining under the taps and around the waste and thin, worn enamel in places, we can normally put it right, on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths alike.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Most clients in Knottingley get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes the best part of a day in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Knottingley, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Knottingley
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Should you replace it?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Knottingley. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why book with us

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
When to call us in Knottingley
Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.
The things customers normally mention when they call are:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Several chips and rust patches
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
Before booking anyone
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How the colour is matched
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Store bottles off the bath
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
