Bath re-enamelling at your home in Cragg Vale
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Common call-outs are for chips and rust in more than one place and a coating lifting around the plughole, across Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Cragg Vale. The price reflects:
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
If you’re in Cragg Vale and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Repair or replace in Cragg Vale?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Landlord and trade work in Cragg Vale
For anyone letting property in or around Cragg Vale, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cragg Vale as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Never use suction bath mats
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
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. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
Common questions in Cragg Vale
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
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.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
