Should you replace it?
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Prices start from £350.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Ingol
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We regularly repair acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people contact us are a peeling or bubbling previous coating and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Ingol and across Lancashire.

Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- An old resurfacing that is failing

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Never use suction bath mats
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes the best part of a day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For a price in Ingol, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A bath split right through the body
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
