Bath re-enamelling in Pontefract, done in place
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We’re often asked to fix staining under the taps and around the waste and lots of chips and rust spots, in Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day, with the bath back in use the next day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Pontefract. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

What your bath is made of matters
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.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A bath that’s rusted through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
