About our bath re-enamelling in Clayton
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. If you’re dealing with a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and several chips and rust patches, we can usually put it right.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Bradford.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Clayton. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes the best part of a day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Make sure the area is dry

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface without moving it. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Clayton?
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, usually first under the taps and around the waste.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Stains that will not shift
- Wear marks under the taps
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Clayton
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
