Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Aughton
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Whether it’s a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and lots of chips and rust spots, we can help, on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Aughton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A picture taken from further back
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Aughton
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Should you replace it?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Repair dripping taps early
- Never use suction bath mats
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Questions from Aughton
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths, ready the following day. We give you timings with the quote.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you come to Aughton?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Aughton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
