Bath re-enamelling in Blackrod, done in place
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We are frequently asked to fix brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and wear marks under the taps, on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
What we can’t put right
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- A bath split right through the body
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Blackrod questions
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
Can you quote from pictures?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How long will the bath be out of use?
One day for most baths, ready the following day. We give you timings with the quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Bolton.

How the visit works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes the best part of a day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Repairs by material
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Blackrod
Older baths frequently have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Several chips and rust patches
