Book bath re-enamelling in Holt Head

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

About our bath re-enamelling in Holt Head

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We are often asked to fix a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a coloured bath you want in white, across acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

FAQs for Holt Head

Can you make a coloured bath white?

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

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the following day. We will confirm timings when we quote.

Do you work in Holt Head?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Holt Head and the rest of Kirklees. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Holt Head

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A bath split right through the body

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

What we work on

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

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a full day.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
