How we handle bath re-enamelling in Bolton
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. If you are dealing with enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can help.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes most of the day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Bolton: your questions answered
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Should you replace it?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A bath that’s rusted through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Common problems we fix in Bolton
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is normally perfectly sound.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A coating lifting around the plughole

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Bolton. The price reflects:
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
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.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A picture taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job without visiting.
