- Wear marks under the taps

- Lots of chips and rust spots

About our bath re-enamelling in Lower Shelf
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We’re frequently asked to fix enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and several chips and rust patches, in acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Lower Shelf and across Calderdale.

What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to most of the day, including clearing up.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

What affects the price in Lower Shelf
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Common questions in Lower Shelf
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Respect the curing time we give you
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
