Bath re-enamelling in Sands, done in place
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are stains that won’t shift and an old resurfacing that’s failing.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kirklees.

When to call us in Sands
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Thin, worn enamel in places
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How the colour is matched
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Common questions in Sands
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Sands is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
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.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Related advice
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We do not 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.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- A picture taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your WF14 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
What we can’t put right
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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 tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
