Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Bath re-enamelling in Little Harwood without replacing anything
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. If you’re dealing with thin, worn enamel in places and a coloured bath you want in white, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Should you replace it?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Little Harwood use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
