How we handle bath re-enamelling in Chickenley
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Our technicians work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about chips and rust in more than one place and a coloured bath you want in white.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to most of the day.
- 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.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Chickenley. The price comes down to:
- The material

- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Chickenley
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Landlord and trade work in Chickenley
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Kirklees and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Have chips seen to early
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Chickenley?
Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
People generally call us after spotting one of these:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
