Bath re-enamelling in Gorton, done in place
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Common call-outs are for chips and rust in more than one place and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, across pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Gorton: your questions answered
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How long is the bath unusable?
Normally one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
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.
Do you cover Gorton?
We do. Technicians travel to Gorton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes most of the day, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the next day.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What we’re called out for in Gorton
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Stains that won’t shift
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- A bath that is rusted through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- Colour-matched on site
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- No need to remove anything
- Usually one visit, start to finish

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
