Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Greenheys, Greater Manchester
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing in Greenheys, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
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.
Bath re-enamelling in Greenheys, done in place
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We work on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and an old resurfacing that’s failing.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

What affects the price in Greenheys
Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Greenheys. The price depends on:
- The material
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your M15 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes most of the day for most jobs. The room is left tidy 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.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available

- A roll-top that is seen better days
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A coating lifting around the plughole
What your quote should include

- Who will actually do the work
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether they match the colour on site
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A metal bath with a through crack
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
Repair or replace: which is better?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, with the bath ready the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
