- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Bath re-enamelling in Roydhouse without replacing anything
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Roydhouse and across Kirklees.

Repair or replace in Roydhouse?
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350.

How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Store bottles off the bath
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
How it works
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know about parking or access
- Ensure the area is dry
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Roydhouse use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Roydhouse: your questions answered
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
