Bath re-enamelling at your home in Bickershaw
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We’re frequently asked to fix a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, in basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
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.
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Store bottles off the bath
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes the best part of a day for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Wear marks under the taps
