Bath re-enamelling at your home in Hale
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are stains that won’t shift and wear marks under the taps.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, 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.
Why repair rather than replace?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. 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.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the whole bath
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Landlord and trade work in Hale
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hale as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Hale
How long does re-enamelling take?
Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow the best part of a day from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Make sure the area is dry
