About our bath re-enamelling in Sowerby
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Whether it’s brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What affects the price in Sowerby
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
For a price in Sowerby, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Advice
Sowerby: your questions answered
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Calderdale.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
What else we do in Sowerby
Should you replace it?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why us?
- One visit for most repairs
- Work done at your home or business
- We leave the room as we found it
- Colour-matched on site

Landlord and trade work in Sowerby
For anyone letting property in or around Sowerby, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- A bath split right through the body
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that is rusted through
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Sowerby
- Basins & shower trays
