Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Upper Brockholes
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Do you come to Upper Brockholes?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Upper Brockholes. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Bath re-enamelling in Upper Brockholes, done in place
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Common call-outs are for stains that won’t shift and several chips and rust patches, on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Upper Brockholes and across Calderdale.

Should you replace it?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, 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.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Advice
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Upper Brockholes
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
Look out for these signs:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- An old resurfacing that is failing
Before booking anyone
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
What a repair can’t fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A bath split right through the body
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A bath that is rusted through
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

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 generally the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
