Repair or replace: which is better?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day, with the bath back in use the next day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

About our bath re-enamelling in Howe Bridge
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. If you’re dealing with a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can help.

Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Common problems we fix in Howe Bridge
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is normally perfectly sound.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- An outdated colour you’d like to change

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A bath that is rusted through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops

The process
On the day itself, there’s 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 mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Howe Bridge
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What areas do you cover?
All of Wigan, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
