Should you replace it?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface without moving it. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take most of the day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice
What affects the price in Sowood
Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Sowood. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Landlord and trade work in Sowood
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Common problems we fix in Sowood
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
People normally call us after spotting something like this:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Several chips and rust patches
- Thin, worn enamel in places

More services for Sowood
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Sowood
How long does re-enamelling take?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Sowood and the rest of Calderdale. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Are there extra charges for Sowood?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
