Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Dimple, Bolton
Bath re-enamelling in Dimple without the cost of replacing. Send us pictures for a fixed price, then we come to you.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- An old resurfacing that is failing
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
Bath re-enamelling in Dimple without replacing anything
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the day after. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We work on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most frequently call us about an outdated colour you’d like to change and stains that won’t shift.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on

How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a full day for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- 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.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

What else we do in Dimple
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

When to call us in Dimple
Often the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Stains that will not shift
- Several chips and rust patches
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How soon you can use it again
- How your room will be protected
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Dimple, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
