Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, with the bath ready the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Bath re-enamelling in Meltham Mills, done in place
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Common call-outs are for thin, worn enamel in places and a roll-top that’s seen better days, across cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

Meltham Mills: your questions answered
How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths, ready the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
How long does re-enamelling last?
Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Meltham Mills. What changes the price is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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 quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Meltham Mills, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Repair dripping taps early
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Meltham Mills
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off

When a repair is not the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes most of the day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
