About our bath re-enamelling in Lundwood
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. If you are dealing with a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and stains that won’t shift, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lundwood
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Barnsley and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Respect the curing time we give you
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a full day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Repairs by material
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 and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
What else we do in Lundwood
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Lundwood
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, typically with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes Lundwood. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
