Bath re-enamelling in Fartown, done in place

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We are often asked to fix lots of chips and rust spots and a roll-top that’s seen better days, on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Fartown questions

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Will the bath be moved?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

Will there be fumes?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Kirklees.

What do you need from me?

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

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

The process

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

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Landlord and trade work in Fartown

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Common problems we fix in Fartown

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • A coloured bath you want in white

Comparing quotes

  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How soon you can use it again

Our hiring checklist

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Repair dripping taps early

Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A metal bath with a through crack

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Fartown. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We leave the room as we found it
