Bath re-enamelling for Nether End homes

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a full day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Our repair technicians work on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and lots of chips and rust spots.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Questions from Nether End

Does someone need to be in?

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

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you cover the whole of Kirklees?

The whole UK, including all of Kirklees. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Cast iron baths
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Basins & shower trays

What affects the price in Nether End

Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Nether End. What changes the price is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Nether End. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your HD8 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?
