Bath re-enamelling in Retford without replacing anything
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Typical jobs include brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A bath split right through the body
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good.

For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Repairs by material
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Repair dripping taps early
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

FAQs for Retford
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
