How we handle bath re-enamelling in Farnley

We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We work on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people contact us are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and an old resurfacing that’s failing.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes the best part of a day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Advice

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Farnley?

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

Questions to ask before booking

  • How to look after the finish
  • What preparation is included
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What happens if they find more damage

Repair or replace in Farnley?

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. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

What you get with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • No need to remove anything
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Read our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired

Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Farnley

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

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

Common questions in Farnley

How long is the bath unusable?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Will the bath be moved?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
