About our bath re-enamelling in Cheadle
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Typical jobs include worn patches where water runs and sits and a coating lifting around the plughole, in basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Landlord and trade work in Cheadle
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Repairing versus replacing in Cheadle
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to most of the day, tidy-up included.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

How we price bath re-enamelling

- Something in shot to show the size
