Book bath re-enamelling in Bocking

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

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.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Bocking

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Common call-outs are for an outdated colour you’d like to change and several chips and rust patches, across acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Bradford.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Basins & shower trays
  • Cast iron baths
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Acrylic baths

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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.

Questions from Bocking

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

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

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Repair or replace in Bocking?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

The process

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for most of the day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Related advice

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
