Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Cowmes, Kirklees

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Cowmes. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Cowmes, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Bath re-enamelling in Cowmes without replacing anything
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the day after. Common call-outs are for chips and rust in more than one place and an old resurfacing that’s failing, in pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Cowmes

What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Common problems we fix in Cowmes
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cowmes
For anyone letting property in or around Cowmes, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Cowmes questions
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Do you come to Cowmes?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Cowmes. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
What areas do you cover?
All of Kirklees, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Repair or replace in Cowmes?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
