About our bath re-enamelling in Billinge
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are lots of chips and rust spots and a roll-top that’s seen better days.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A photo taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Common questions in Billinge
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Generally one day, with the bath ready the next day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Repairing versus replacing in Billinge
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- Work done at your home or business
- We leave the room as we found it
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- One-year guarantee on every repair

How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

- A coloured bath you want in white
- A coating lifting around the plughole

What happens on the day
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
