FAQs for Airedale
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Airedale
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
How it works
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 a full day.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What else we do in Airedale
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Store bottles off the bath
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
When to call us in Airedale
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Wear marks under the taps
- Lots of chips and rust spots
What to look for in a quote

For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
