Bath re-enamelling near Staincliffe

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Bath re-enamelling in Staincliffe without replacing anything

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. Whether it’s chips and rust in more than one place and thin, worn enamel in places, we can help, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Repairing versus replacing in Staincliffe

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

FAQs for Staincliffe

Do you cover the whole of Kirklees?

Everywhere in the UK, Staincliffe included. Travel is included in the price.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. Inside and out.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Will the new finish last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Will there be fumes?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Staincliffe. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What a repair can’t fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
