How we handle bath re-enamelling in Shipley
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Typical jobs include a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Shipley and across Bradford.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Shipley, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. 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.

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow most of the day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Advice
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For a price in Shipley, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Repair dripping taps early
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
