Bath re-enamelling for Walsden homes

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Walsden

Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Whether it’s worn patches where water runs and sits and an old resurfacing that’s failing, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Why repair rather than replace?

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Our bath re-enamelling starts 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 photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • We leave the room as we found it

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

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.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

What we cannot put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Cast iron baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Pressed steel baths

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes most of the day in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

Related advice

Walsden: your questions answered

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

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.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you cover Walsden?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Walsden and the rest of Calderdale. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

When to call us in Walsden

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

People usually call us when they notice something like this:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

What your quote should include

  • What preparation is included
  • When it can be used again
  • How the colour is matched
  • What protection goes down before work starts

How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
