Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Repair dripping taps early
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take the best part of a day.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know about parking or access

Colne Bridge questions
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Colne Bridge?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your HD5 postcode.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Common problems we fix in Colne Bridge
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Several chips and rust patches
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Wear marks under the taps
Comparing quotes
- Whether they match the colour on site
- When it can be used again
- Aftercare advice
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
When we’d advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
