Bath re-enamelling in Halliwell without replacing anything
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people contact us are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Questions from Halliwell
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Common problems we fix in Halliwell
Often the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is typically as strong as ever.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
What your quote should include
- Aftercare advice
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How your room will be protected
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
For anyone letting property in or around Halliwell, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
What affects the price in Halliwell
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
