What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes the best part of a day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Ossett
How long does re-enamelling take?
Normally one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Ossett?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
What we are called out for in Ossett
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.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Several chips and rust patches
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
Questions to ask before booking
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- When it can be used again
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

What else we do in Ossett
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ossett use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
When we would advise against a repair
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
If you are in Ossett and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Repairing versus replacing in Ossett
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
