How we handle bath re-enamelling in South Crosland
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the day after. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We regularly repair acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about a roll-top that’s seen better days and thin, worn enamel in places.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kirklees.

Repair or replace in South Crosland?
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 also far quicker. Prices start from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Kirklees and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to South Crosland. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What your bath is made of matters
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
