Should you replace it?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Tinshill
If you manage property in Tinshill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Common questions in Tinshill
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Will the new finish last?
Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Leeds. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Tinshill?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow the best part of a day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
