Bath re-enamelling in Shelley Woodhouse, done in place
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We work on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are several chips and rust patches and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Questions from Shelley Woodhouse
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you cover the whole of Kirklees?
We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Shelley Woodhouse?
Older baths frequently have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Several chips and rust patches
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Stains that won’t shift
- A coloured bath you want in white
What your quote should include
- How changes to the job are handled
- How long it needs to cure
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What protection goes down before work starts
Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Shelley Woodhouse. What changes the price is:
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
The process
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a full day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
