Bath re-enamelling in Congleton, done in place
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a roll-top that’s seen better days and an outdated colour you’d like to change.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cheshire East.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Congleton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

For landlords and businesses
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.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Congleton use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Never use suction bath mats
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Congleton, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes the best part of a day for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
