Bath re-enamelling in Melling without replacing anything
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Common call-outs are for thin, worn enamel in places and an outdated colour you’d like to change, across basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Melling?
Older baths frequently have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- Several chips and rust patches
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Questions from Melling
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Do you come to Melling?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Melling and the rest of Lancashire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

- Holes rusted through the metal

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes the best part of a day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the next day.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Respect the curing time we give you
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
