About our bath re-enamelling in Bootle
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We work on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people contact us are several chips and rust patches and worn patches where water runs and sits.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Bootle, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A bath split right through the body

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Bootle?
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Look out for any of the following:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Lots of chips and rust spots

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Bootle
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Bootle
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
If you manage property in Bootle, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
Repair or replace: which is better?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing usually wins. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Bootle. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
