Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Repair or replace in Leeds?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Leeds: your questions answered
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Do you cover the entire of Kent?
Across the UK, so Leeds is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Holes rusted through the metal
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a full day for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the area is dry
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

What else we do in Leeds
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For a price in Leeds, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
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.
