Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Shelley, Kirklees
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing at your home in Shelley, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Shelley
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Whether it’s a bath in a colour that no longer suits and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Common questions in Shelley
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you work in Shelley?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Shelley and the rest of Kirklees. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shelley use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
For anyone letting property in or around Shelley, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops

Related advice
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Shelley?
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
Questions to ask before you book
- If travel is included in the price
- How soon you can use it again
- How to look after the finish
- How changes to the job are handled
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
