Bath re-enamelling at your home in Greater Manchester

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We work on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and people most frequently call us about chips and rust in more than one place and an outdated colour you’d like to change.

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes the best part of a day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.

What we are called out for in Greater Manchester

Frequently the bath has just had decades of use. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Several chips and rust patches

Should you replace it?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker.

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Have chips seen to early

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

Greater Manchester: your questions answered

Will the new finish last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do you work in Greater Manchester?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Greater Manchester. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
