About our bath re-enamelling in Higher Wheelton
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. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take the best part of a day, including clearing up.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

What we can’t put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A metal bath with a through crack
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we are called out for in Higher Wheelton
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, usually first under the taps and around the waste.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating

For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Lancashire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Repairs by material
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 is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Never use suction bath mats
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
