Bath re-enamelling at your home in Daresbury
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Typical jobs include a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Questions from Daresbury
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Daresbury?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
When to call us in Daresbury
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Wear marks under the taps
What your quote should include
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How soon you can use it again
- What aftercare is recommended
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Why repair rather than replace?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
