About our bath re-enamelling in Clough Head

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. We work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a coloured bath you want in white and lots of chips and rust spots.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Clough Head and across Calderdale.

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to most of the day, tidy-up included.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  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

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Store bottles off the bath

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Questions from Clough Head

How long does re-enamelling last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Clough Head?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you come to Clough Head?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Clough Head for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Clough Head

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.

Look out for any of the following:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How the room is protected while they work
