How we handle bath re-enamelling in Shawclough
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and chips and rust in more than one place.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Have chips seen to early
- Never use suction bath mats
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
When we’d advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
Most clients in Shawclough get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Repair or replace in Shawclough?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Shawclough?
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Clients normally contact us about:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Thin, worn enamel in places
Comparing quotes
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How your room will be protected
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
