Bath re-enamelling at your home in Penistone
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. If you’re dealing with staining under the taps and around the waste and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, we can typically put it right, on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repairing versus replacing in Penistone
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, with the bath ready the following day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A bath that is rusted through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Advice
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Penistone?
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Look out for any of the following:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
Before you book anyone
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether they match the colour on site
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Never use suction bath mats
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Penistone
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
FAQs for Penistone
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
