How we handle bath re-enamelling in Appley Bridge
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Common call-outs are for staining under the taps and around the waste and a coating lifting around the plughole, on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Advice
Appley Bridge: your questions answered
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Wigan.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Repair dripping taps early
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Appley Bridge
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Wear marks under the taps
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
Comparing quotes
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- When it can be used again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
