About our bath re-enamelling in Shibden
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We’re often asked to fix staining under the taps and around the waste and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, across Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Shibden
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Shibden and the rest of Calderdale. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- 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.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Repairs by material
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.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
What we’re called out for in Shibden
Older baths frequently have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How the room is protected while they work
- How soon you can use it again
