Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.

How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
Old Snydale: your questions answered
Are there extra charges for Old Snydale?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
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.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Old Snydale and the rest of Wakefield. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What we are called out for in Old Snydale
Often the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is typically perfectly sound.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Several chips and rust patches
What your quote should include
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What protection goes down before work starts
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether they match the colour on site
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Landlord and trade work in Old Snydale
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Old Snydale as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Why repair rather than replace?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- One visit for most repairs
- Everything repaired in place
