Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Macclesfield, Cheshire East
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing at your home in Macclesfield, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Respect the curing time we give you
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
Bath re-enamelling in Macclesfield without replacing anything
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We are frequently asked to fix a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, across cast iron baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Questions from Macclesfield
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Are there extra charges for Macclesfield?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What we can’t put right
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
Landlords, agents and businesses in Macclesfield
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
What affects the price in Macclesfield
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repair or replace in Macclesfield?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

The process
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow most of the day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the area is dry
