If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Common call-outs are for an outdated colour you’d like to change and thin, worn enamel in places, in Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Stapleton and across Wakefield.

The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your pictures, 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.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
What affects the price in Stapleton
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
If you are in Stapleton and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Stapleton
Older baths often have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
The things customers usually mention when they call are:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Wear marks under the taps
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
What to look for in a quote
- When it can be used again
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What aftercare is recommended
- What prep work is covered
How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Never use suction bath mats
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath generally 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. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
