Bath re-enamelling in Longshaw without replacing anything
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Common call-outs are for brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and thin, worn enamel in places, in basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Longshaw and across Wigan.

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Respect the curing time we give you
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Prices start from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s 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.
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
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
