Bath re-enamelling in Hightown, done in place
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. If you’re dealing with several chips and rust patches and an outdated colour you’d like to change, we can help, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Common questions in Hightown
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Hightown and the rest of Kirklees. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
When a repair is not the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Hightown. The price reflects:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- A photo taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Hightown?
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Clients generally contact us about:
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Several chips and rust patches
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A coloured bath you want in white
What your quote should include
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What protection goes down before work starts
How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What else we do in Hightown
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
