About our bath re-enamelling in Ardwick
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. If you are dealing with a bath in a colour that no longer suits and several chips and rust patches, we can generally put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Ardwick, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Ardwick
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
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.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
If you are in Ardwick and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Repairing versus replacing in Ardwick
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why us?
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- No need to remove anything
- Same prices wherever you are
- We leave the room as we found it

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Store bottles off the bath
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Repair dripping taps early
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

Common questions in Ardwick
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Typically, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Generally one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
