- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A coating lifting around the plughole

Bath re-enamelling in Great Eccleston, done in place
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are a coloured bath you want in white and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Lancashire.

Great Eccleston questions
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Great Eccleston. Prices don’t change with location.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Great Eccleston?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a full day for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Related advice
Landlord and trade work in Great Eccleston
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Repair dripping taps early
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Never use suction bath mats
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
