Bath re-enamelling in Scammonden, done in place
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and worn patches where water runs and sits.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Landlord and trade work in Scammonden
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Calderdale and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Questions from Scammonden
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
How long is the bath unusable?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price. You’re under no obligation.

What else we do in Scammonden
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why Scammonden clients choose us
- No need to remove anything
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- No extra charge for your area
- A fixed quote before booking
See our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Store bottles off the bath
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take most of the day.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Open a window if you can
