What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice
Bath re-enamelling in Kirkburton, done in place
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is generally the most cost-effective option. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Our technicians work on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a roll-top that’s seen better days.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Respect the curing time we give you
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths

Landlord and trade work in Kirkburton
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.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
When to call us in Kirkburton
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.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Several chips and rust patches
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
What to look for in a quote
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How to look after the finish
- When it can be used again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match

Questions from Kirkburton
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
