Bath re-enamelling in Holme Wood without replacing anything

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. If you’re dealing with a bath in a colour that no longer suits and thin, worn enamel in places, we can generally put it right, on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths alike.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Bradford.

What a repair cannot fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • A bath that is rusted through

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will 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. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

What affects the price in Holme Wood

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Holme Wood. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

What we are called out for in Holme Wood

People normally call us after spotting one of these:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Choosing a repair company

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Holme Wood

Is there a smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

How long is the bath unusable?

Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you work in Holme Wood?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Holme Wood. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Holme Wood

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Holme Wood use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Repair or replace: which is better?

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. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left 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.
