How we handle bath re-enamelling in Handforth
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Common call-outs are for staining under the taps and around the waste and thin, worn enamel in places, on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Respect the curing time we give you
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Repairs by material
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.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
When to call us in Handforth
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
The things clients normally mention when they call are:
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Stains that won’t shift
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Wear marks under the taps

- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
