Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a full day. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Ince-in-Makerfield?
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
Look out for any of the following:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Wear marks under the taps
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A coloured bath you want in white
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How your room will be protected

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Ince-in-Makerfield
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Ince-in-Makerfield?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
