How we handle bath re-enamelling in Slaithwaite
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It normally takes one visit, and can be used again the following day. Our technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that’s rusted through

The process
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Ensure the area is dry

Should you replace it?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Take a look at our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Respect the curing time we give you
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
When to call us in Slaithwaite
Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

Questions from Slaithwaite
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Slaithwaite?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
