Bath re-enamelling in Heaton Moor, done in place

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is generally the most cost-effective option. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. If you’re dealing with a coating lifting around the plughole and wear marks under the taps, we can generally put it right, on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Our hiring checklist

Landlords, agents and businesses in Heaton Moor

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Why repair rather than replace?

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Work done at your home or business
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • No extra charge for your area

Common questions in Heaton Moor

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How long is the bath unusable?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

What areas do you cover?

All of Greater Manchester, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Holes rusted through the metal

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Basins & shower trays
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Cast iron baths
  • Acrylic baths

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
