Bath re-enamelling in Leigh without replacing anything
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. If you are dealing with an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and chips and rust in more than one place, we can help, on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What a repair can’t fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
FAQs for Leigh
How long will the bath be out of use?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
What affects the price in Leigh
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Should you replace it?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.
Why book with us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Work done at your home or business
See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Common problems we fix in Leigh
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
Look out for these signs:
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Lots of chips and rust spots
What your quote should include
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How to look after the finish
- When it can be used again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a full day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
