Bath re-enamelling in Whitley Lower without replacing anything
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We work on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and people most often call us about lots of chips and rust spots and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Whitley Lower
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, generally first under the taps and around the waste.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Wear marks under the taps
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
Before you book anyone

Repair or replace: which is better?
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.
Why book with us
- Same prices wherever you are
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Landlords, agents and businesses in Whitley Lower
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

What else we do in Whitley Lower
Whitley Lower: your questions answered
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Whitley Lower and the rest of Kirklees. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you come to Whitley Lower?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Whitley Lower. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Repair dripping taps early
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Whitley Lower. The price reflects:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes the best part of a day.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Make sure the area is dry
