Bath Re-enamelling for Galgate homes
We travel to Galgate for full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
Bath re-enamelling in Galgate, done in place
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It usually takes one visit, and can be used again the next day. If you’re dealing with a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can normally put it right, on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths alike.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Lancashire.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Landlord and trade work in Galgate
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.
When to call us in Galgate
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
What your quote should include
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How your room will be protected

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Galgate
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Normally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How do I book?

What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Never use suction bath mats
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
