Bath re-enamelling in Harwood, done in place

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and wear marks under the taps.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a full day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Harwood questions

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

What we can’t put right

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Holes rusted through the metal

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Common problems we fix in Harwood

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.

Clients typically contact us about:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

Before you book anyone

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

10 questions to ask before you book

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Roll-top and period baths

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

Landlord and trade work in Harwood

If you manage property in Harwood, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Repair or replace: which is better?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • No extra charge for your area
  • We leave the room as we found it
