How the visit works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear the area around the damage
- Ensure the area is dry

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Repair or replace in Melling?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day, with the bath back in use the following day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

FAQs for Melling
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
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.

Everywhere in the UK, Melling included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Common problems we fix in Melling
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
Before you book anyone
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether a trained technician does the job
What we can’t put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A bath split right through the body
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- A bath that is rusted through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Work for landlords and builders

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
