Bath re-enamelling in Bidston

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Bath re-enamelling in Bidston without replacing anything

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Typical jobs include chips and rust in more than one place and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, in cast iron baths, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CH43 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take most of the day, including clearing up.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
