How we handle bath re-enamelling in South Elmsall
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. If you are dealing with a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and chips and rust in more than one place, we can help, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

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.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a full day. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
