About our bath re-enamelling in Crompton
We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It normally takes one visit, and can be used again the day after. We regularly repair cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and people most frequently call us about a coloured bath you want in white and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Landlord and trade work in Crompton
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Crompton use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
How it works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the following day.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why Crompton clients choose us
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Crompton
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
Before you book anyone
- How to look after the finish
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How the room is protected while they work
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths

FAQs for Crompton
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Will the bath be moved?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Normally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
