Bath re-enamelling in Tickhill without replacing anything
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and several chips and rust patches.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tickhill use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Doncaster and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What affects the price in Tickhill
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How much damage there is
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job without visiting.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
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.
Common problems we fix in Tickhill
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Wear marks under the taps
- Chips and rust in more than one place
Questions to ask before booking
- How changes to the job are handled
- If travel is included in the price
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How your room will be protected
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Victorian roll-tops

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Tickhill
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Doncaster.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Tickhill?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your DN11 postcode.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Store bottles off the bath
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
