Bath re-enamelling at your home in Brackenhill
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Should you replace it?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good.

Landlord and trade work in Brackenhill
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Wakefield and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a full day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

What affects the price in Brackenhill
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Brackenhill. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
We do not add 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.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
