About our bath re-enamelling in Denton
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We regularly repair acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about thin, worn enamel in places and several chips and rust patches.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Denton use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the whole bath
If you’re in Denton and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
Repair or replace in Denton?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Denton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

The process
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a full day from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Common questions in Denton
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

How long is the bath unusable?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the next day. We give you timings with the quote.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A bath that’s rusted through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays

How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Never use suction bath mats
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
