Bath re-enamelling in Melling Mount without replacing anything
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Whether it’s enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can help, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths alike.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Melling Mount
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Melling Mount?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you cover the entire of Sefton?
Everywhere in the UK, Melling Mount included. Travel is included in the price.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Respect the curing time we give you
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A picture taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Repair or replace: which is better?
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a full day. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your L31 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
