Bath re-enamelling in Hale without replacing anything
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people contact us are wear marks under the taps and an old resurfacing that’s failing.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take the best part of a day, including clearing up.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price

Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Common problems we fix in Hale
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, generally first under the taps and around the waste.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

What affects the price in Hale
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For a price in Hale, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Hale: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Trafford.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
How long will the bath be out of use?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Do you come to Hale?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Hale and the rest of Trafford. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Why book with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Fixed prices from your pictures

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
