Bath re-enamelling at your home in Dewsbury
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most frequently call us about wear marks under the taps and lots of chips and rust spots.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kirklees.

How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a full day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Dewsbury: your questions answered
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
How long will the bath be out of use?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Common problems we fix in Dewsbury
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, generally first under the taps and around the waste.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
Questions to ask before you book
- When it can be used again
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How the room is protected while they work
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Have chips seen to early
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Dewsbury
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dewsbury as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Why repair rather than replace?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.
