Bath re-enamelling in Dunnockshaw, done in place
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about wear marks under the taps and several chips and rust patches.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Dunnockshaw and across Lancashire.

The process
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a full day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
For a price in Dunnockshaw, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Dunnockshaw: your questions answered
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Do you cover the whole of Lancashire?
Across the UK, so Dunnockshaw is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
What we can’t put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
