Bath re-enamelling in Disley, done in place
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Common call-outs are for an old resurfacing that’s failing and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Repairing versus replacing in Disley
Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start 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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A bath split right through the body

How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take the best part of a day.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
Most customers in Disley get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Never use suction bath mats
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Store bottles off the bath
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.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Questions from Disley
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Do you come to Disley?
We do. We send a technician to Disley for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Disley. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
