How we handle bath re-enamelling in Higher Poynton
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, so we do not cut corners on it. If you’re dealing with brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Never use suction bath mats
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cheshire East and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A photo taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
For a price in Higher Poynton, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
What happens on the day
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes the best part of a day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the next day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice
Higher Poynton questions
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
