Bath re-enamelling in Higher Hurdsfield, done in place
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Whether it’s wear marks under the taps and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can help, whatever the material.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Higher Hurdsfield and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

How it works
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow the best part of a day from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.

- Open a window if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Higher Hurdsfield?
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Repairing versus replacing in Higher Hurdsfield
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
