Bath re-enamelling in Marple Bridge, done in place
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We’re often asked to fix an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, across basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Why repair rather than replace?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Marple Bridge use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes most of the day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Related advice
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Marple Bridge?
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
Questions to ask before you book
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How your room will be protected
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
