Repair or replace: which is better?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
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.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow the best part of a day. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Make sure the area is dry

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Have chips seen to early
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
What we’re called out for in Wheatley Hills
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, typically first under the taps and around the waste.
Customers typically contact us about:
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A coating lifting around the plughole
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- What preparation is included
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How your room will be protected
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Wheatley Hills
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Wheatley Hills?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Do you cover the whole of Doncaster?
We work UK-wide, so Wheatley Hills is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
