Bath re-enamelling at your home in Knutsford
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. If you’re dealing with a coating lifting around the plughole and chips and rust in more than one place, we can help, whatever the material.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Questions from Knutsford
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is there a smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Usually one day, with the bath ready the day after. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Knutsford?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A metal bath with a through crack
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
When to call us in Knutsford
Often the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is usually as strong as ever.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Stains that will not shift
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Wear marks under the taps
Comparing quotes
- How long it needs to cure
- Who turns up on the day

How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
