Bath re-enamelling at your home in Skellow
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about chips and rust in more than one place and worn patches where water runs and sits.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

When to call us in Skellow
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Stains that won’t shift
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Several chips and rust patches

Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Landlord and trade work in Skellow
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Skellow use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Skellow questions
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Typically one day, with the bath ready the day after. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What happens after I send photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.
Repairing versus replacing in Skellow
Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
