Bath re-enamelling in Ashton-in-Makerfield, done in place
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. We are often asked to fix a roll-top that’s seen better days and an old resurfacing that’s failing, on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

What your bath is made of matters
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.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Questions from Ashton-in-Makerfield
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will the new finish last?
Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How long is the bath unusable?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes the best part of a day for most jobs. The room is left tidy.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Repair or replace: which is better?
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 renews the whole surface without moving it. Prices start from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
