How we handle bath re-enamelling in Upper Batley
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Our repair technicians work on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a coloured bath you want in white and several chips and rust patches.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
When a repair is not the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Steel that has corroded right through
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
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.
Upper Batley: your questions answered
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
How long will the bath be out of use?
One day for most baths, ready the following day. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Upper Batley included. Travel is included in the price.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a full day in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear the area around the damage
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
