How we handle bath re-enamelling in Midgley
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. Typical jobs include a bath in a colour that no longer suits and staining under the taps and around the waste, on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Repair or replace in Midgley?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day, with the bath back in use the following day. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Midgley

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Midgley
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Are there extra charges for Midgley?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
Do you cover the whole of Wakefield?
Across the UK, so Midgley is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A bath split right through the body
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Holes rusted through the metal
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A photo taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your WF4 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to most of the day, tidy-up included.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Ensure the area is dry
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

When to call us in Midgley
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Customers generally contact us about:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
Comparing quotes
- What prep work is covered
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
