Bath re-enamelling in Upper Hoyland without replacing anything
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. We work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are lots of chips and rust spots and a roll-top that’s seen better days.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Upper Hoyland as everywhere else we work.

Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a full day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Store bottles off the bath
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Upper Hoyland?
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
Before you book anyone
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How soon you can use it again
- What protection goes down before work starts
Common questions in Upper Hoyland
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
How long is the bath unusable?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
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.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the entire bath
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Upper Hoyland, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
