Bath re-enamelling in Rufforth without replacing anything
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a coating lifting around the plughole and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
For a price in Rufforth, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Repair or replace in Rufforth?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Everything repaired in place

Questions from Rufforth
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Typically, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a full day. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
