Bath re-enamelling at your home in Clayton-le-Woods
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are chips and rust in more than one place and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.

What else we do in Clayton-le-Woods
The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the day after.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Should you replace it?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Avoid suction-cup mats
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
What we are called out for in Clayton-le-Woods
Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
