Bath Re-enamelling across Kirklees

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Kirklees

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a coating lifting around the plughole.

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for most of the day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

What you’ll pay

Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. 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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What’s near Huddersfield

Locally, our jobs take us to homes close to The Plumbers Arms, Church of the Holy Trinity and Greenhead College and the streets around them. Huddersfield has its own railway station: Huddersfield station. Nearby you’ll also find Piazza Centre (0.6 miles east) and Rugby League Heritage Centre (within half a mile east). The countryside around Huddersfield includes Castle Hill.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Should you replace it?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

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.

What we’re called out for in Kirklees

Older baths often have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

When a repair isn’t the answer

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Common questions in Kirklees

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Do you work in Kirklees?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Kirklees. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
