How we handle bath re-enamelling in Balderstone
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. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Advice
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Balderstone
Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
People usually call us after spotting something like this:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Stains that won’t shift
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
Questions to ask before booking
- When it can be used again
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How your room will be protected

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

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

Why repair rather than replace?
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. Prices start from £350. 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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- A fixed quote before booking
- Same prices wherever you are
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
