Trusted bath re-enamelling in Bradford

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Bradford

Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and worn patches where water runs and sits.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Common problems we fix in Bradford

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • An old resurfacing that is failing

10 questions to ask before you book

Honest limits

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Common questions in Bradford

Do you work in Bradford?

We do. We send a technician to Bradford for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

How long does re-enamelling take?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

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

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Bradford. What changes the price is:

  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
