Bath re-enamelling in Halton East without replacing anything
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Typical jobs include a peeling or bubbling previous coating and stains that won’t shift, in acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
FAQs for Halton East
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Common problems we fix in Halton East
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Several chips and rust patches
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
What to look for in a quote
- How the room is protected while they work
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How changes to the job are handled
- When it can be used again
How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes most of the day. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Have chips seen to early
- Store bottles off the bath
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
What we cannot put right
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
What affects the price in Halton East
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Why repair rather than replace?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
