Bath re-enamelling in Chorlton-on-Medlock, done in place
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We work on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and an old resurfacing that’s failing.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
What we are called out for in Chorlton-on-Medlock
Older baths often have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Wear marks under the taps

FAQs for Chorlton-on-Medlock
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Chorlton-on-Medlock is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Natural light rather than flash

- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
