Bath re-enamelling in Netherton without replacing anything
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are a coloured bath you want in white and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How it works
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a full day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- 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.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Questions from Netherton
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Generally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Wakefield.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Are there extra charges for Netherton?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Wakefield and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A bath split right through the body
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
