Bath re-enamelling at your home in Bracken Hill

The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It normally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are an old resurfacing that’s failing and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Bracken Hill and across Kirklees.

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Holes rusted through the metal

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, with the bath ready the following day. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

10 questions to ask before you book

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a full day in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the area is dry

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
