How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Thurnscoe. The price reflects:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- A photo taken from further back
Most clients in Thurnscoe get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Thurnscoe
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people contact us are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and staining under the taps and around the waste.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Thurnscoe and across Barnsley.

Common questions in Thurnscoe
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Thurnscoe?
Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Wear marks under the taps
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
What to look for in a quote
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How your room will be protected
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Have chips seen to early
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Repairing versus replacing in Thurnscoe
Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, with the bath ready the following day. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.
