About our bath re-enamelling in Bury
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. Our technicians work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath in a colour that no longer suits and chips and rust in more than one place.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
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.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

When to call us in Bury
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Common reasons people in Bury contact us include:
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Wear marks under the taps

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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.
FAQs for Bury
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
How long is the bath unusable?
Normally one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Typically, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Repairing versus replacing in Bury
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
