Bath Re-enamelling in Upper Tankersley
We travel to Upper Tankersley for full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Bath re-enamelling in Upper Tankersley without replacing anything
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Typical jobs include a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and an outdated colour you’d like to change, in Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, 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’s the part we put right.
How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- 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.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the area is dry

Advice
Upper Tankersley questions
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the following day. We give you timings with the quote.
When to call us in Upper Tankersley
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Several chips and rust patches
What to look for in a quote
- When it can be used again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
If you are in Upper Tankersley and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What a repair cannot fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
Repair or replace: which is better?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and generally a day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
