How it works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a full day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- 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.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Related advice
Bath re-enamelling in Altham, done in place
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people contact us are chips and rust in more than one place and an outdated colour you’d like to change.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

For landlords and businesses
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.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
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. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why book with us
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Most jobs done in one visit
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A bath split right through the body
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Common questions in Altham
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Lancashire.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
What affects the price in Altham
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Common problems we fix in Altham
Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Stains that will not shift
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
