Repair or replace: which is better?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What else we do in Breightmet
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for most of the day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- 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.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price

Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Repair dripping taps early
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Breightmet: your questions answered
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
What we’re called out for in Breightmet
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is usually as strong as ever.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Wear marks under the taps
What to look for in a quote
- How to look after the finish
- How the room is protected while they work
- How the colour is matched
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Bolton and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
