Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Skelmanthorpe. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why book with us
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- Colour-matched on site
- Everything repaired in place

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Skelmanthorpe
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the day after. Our technicians work on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are a coloured bath you want in white and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

What affects the price in Skelmanthorpe
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Skelmanthorpe. The price reflects:
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
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.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Skelmanthorpe
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
