What affects the price in Birkenshaw
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Birkenshaw. The price depends on:

- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

Bath re-enamelling in Birkenshaw without replacing anything
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We are often asked to fix wear marks under the taps and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, in Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Birkenshaw
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you quote from pictures?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a full day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Kirklees and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Repair or replace in Birkenshaw?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day, with the bath back in use the following day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
What you get with us
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
