DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Bath re-enamelling in West Melton, done in place
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Common call-outs are for lots of chips and rust spots and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a full day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the following day.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to West Melton. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in West Melton, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

FAQs for West Melton
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Barnsley. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
