Bath re-enamelling at your home in Blackshaw Head
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We work on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are a coloured bath you want in white and thin, worn enamel in places.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Blackshaw Head. The price reflects:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- The material
No two jobs are quite the same, 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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
If you are in Blackshaw Head and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Blackshaw Head
Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, normally first under the taps and around the waste.
Common reasons people in Blackshaw Head contact us are:
- Several chips and rust patches
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
Questions to ask before booking
- How the room is protected while they work
- How the colour is matched
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Blackshaw Head
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you come to Blackshaw Head?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Blackshaw Head for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
How it works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a full day, including clearing up.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Calderdale and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
If you manage property in Blackshaw Head, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
