- Staining under the taps and around the waste

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Farnworth
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Typical jobs include a bath in a colour that no longer suits and lots of chips and rust spots, in cast iron baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Common questions in Farnworth
Can you quote from photos?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the next day. We give you timings with the quote.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Farnworth as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day, with the bath back in use the following day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole bath
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
