Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Astley Bridge
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. If you are dealing with a coating lifting around the plughole and wear marks under the taps, we can help, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Astley Bridge
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
When to call us in Astley Bridge
Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.
Common reasons people in Astley Bridge contact us are:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
What your quote should include
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How the room is protected while they work
- Who will actually do the work
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Should you replace it?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
What you get with us
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- We leave the room as we found it
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- One-year guarantee on every repair

FAQs for Astley Bridge
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Bolton.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Are there extra charges for Astley Bridge?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
How it works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a full day. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Keep a parking space free if you can
