About our bath re-enamelling in Stone Chair
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. If you’re dealing with a peeling or bubbling previous coating and stains that won’t shift, we can help, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays alike.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Stone Chair and across Calderdale.

How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Never use suction bath mats
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Common problems we fix in Stone Chair

Look out for any of the following:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
What your quote should include
- How long it needs to cure
- Aftercare advice
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Stone Chair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
Repair or replace: which is better?
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. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What your bath is made of matters
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.
