How we handle bath re-enamelling in Colden

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. If you are dealing with brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can help, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Colden and across Calderdale.

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a full day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Choosing a repair company

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Holes rusted through the metal

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

Can I fix it myself?

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

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Colden: your questions answered

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Will the bath be moved?

No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.

Do you cover Colden?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Colden and the rest of Calderdale. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed price

Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
