How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Little Smeaton. The price comes down to:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of

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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

About our bath re-enamelling in Little Smeaton

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Typical jobs include enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, across cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Wakefield and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

See our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

FAQs for Little Smeaton

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Is there a smell?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a full day. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
