How we handle bath re-enamelling in Shipley Bridge
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a peeling or bubbling previous coating and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a full day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Shipley Bridge questions
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Shipley Bridge?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What else we do in Shipley Bridge
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Repairing versus replacing in Shipley Bridge
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
