What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- 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.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Open a window if you can
- Keep a parking space free if you can

About our bath re-enamelling in Ben Rhydding
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and several chips and rust patches.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Steel that has corroded right through
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Repair dripping taps early
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Ben Rhydding. What changes the price is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A picture taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ben Rhydding use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Ben Rhydding: your questions answered
Do you cover the entire of Bradford?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How long does re-enamelling last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
