Bath re-enamelling in South Milford without replacing anything
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We regularly repair acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in South Milford
Older baths often have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
Clients generally contact us about:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Several chips and rust patches
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A roll-top that’s seen better days

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Repairing versus replacing in South Milford
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes the best part of a day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Ensure the area is dry
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops

Common questions in South Milford
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Typically, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Leeds, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
