Advice
About our bath re-enamelling in Chapeltown
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Common call-outs are for several chips and rust patches and a coating lifting around the plughole, across cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Have chips seen to early
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

What else we do in Chapeltown
Common questions in Chapeltown
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Are there extra charges for Chapeltown?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Bolton. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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 generally the cheaper route.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day, with the bath back in use the next day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
