Bath re-enamelling at your home in Shipley
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Whether it’s an old resurfacing that’s failing and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
What a repair can’t fix
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A bath split right through the body
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Shipley
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a full day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Advice
FAQs for Shipley
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A picture taken from further back
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Why us?
- A fixed quote before you book
- No extra charge for your area
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- A year’s guarantee on all work
