Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We work on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are lots of chips and rust spots and a coating lifting around the plughole.

What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
When to call us in Horrocks Fold
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Stains that won’t shift
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Advice
FAQs for Horrocks Fold
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Do you cover the entire of Bolton?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Horrocks Fold. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Will the new finish last?
Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Generally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Should you replace it?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
