What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes most of the day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

About our bath re-enamelling in Bolton

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We work on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about an old resurfacing that’s failing and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

Choosing a repair company

When a repair is not the answer

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Bolton. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • No extra charge for your area
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • No need to remove anything

See our pricing and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

FAQs for Bolton

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Bolton?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Normally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Do you come to Bolton?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Bolton and the rest of East Riding of Yorkshire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
