Bath re-enamelling in Ingham, done in place
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. If you’re dealing with a bath in a colour that no longer suits and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can help.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Why repair rather than replace?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

FAQs for Ingham
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Normally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Do you come to Ingham?
We do. Technicians travel to Ingham from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Have chips seen to early
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Ingham
Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Wear marks under the taps
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
Before you book anyone
- How the colour is matched
- What aftercare is recommended
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ingham as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
When we’d advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A bath that is rusted through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
