Bath re-enamelling at your home in Farnworth
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people contact us are a peeling or bubbling previous coating and an outdated colour you’d like to change.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Farnworth and across Bolton.

The process
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes the best part of a day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Questions from Farnworth
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Normally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Repair or replace in Farnworth?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Farnworth. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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.
When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- A metal bath with a through crack
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the whole bath
- Where you are, by postcode
If you are in Farnworth and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Never use suction bath mats
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
