Bath re-enamelling at your home in Firth Moor
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. If you’re dealing with thin, worn enamel in places and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can normally put it right, on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays alike.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Never use suction bath mats
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Questions from Firth Moor
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Firth Moor included. Travel is included in the price.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Firth Moor?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
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.
Repair or replace in Firth Moor?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
