About our bath re-enamelling in Cold Row
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. We regularly repair acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and people most often call us about a roll-top that’s seen better days and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Cold Row and across Lancashire.

Different materials, different repairs
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
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

- Whether we combine several jobs

Repair or replace in Cold Row?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day, with the bath back in use the following day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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 many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Have chips seen to early
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
