How we handle bath re-enamelling in Birkby
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are chips and rust in more than one place and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kirklees.

When to call us in Birkby
Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Stains that won’t shift
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether the price covers travel
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether a trained technician does the job
What we do, step by step
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a full day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit

- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice
FAQs for Birkby
Do you cover Birkby?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Birkby and the rest of Kirklees. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do you cover the whole of Kirklees?
The whole UK, including all of Kirklees. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Should you replace it?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Never use suction bath mats
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
For anyone letting property in or around Birkby, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
