Bath re-enamelling in Todmorden, done in place
We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the next day. Whether it’s enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and thin, worn enamel in places, we can typically put it right, on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths alike.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. 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.
When we would advise against a repair
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Common questions in Todmorden
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
How long is the bath unusable?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.

Advice
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The material
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
When to call us in Todmorden
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 typically call us after spotting something like this:
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Wear marks under the taps
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether the price covers travel
- How your room will be protected
Repairing versus replacing in Todmorden
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
