About our bath re-enamelling in Middleton
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the following day. We’re often asked to fix several chips and rust patches and worn patches where water runs and sits, in Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Middleton as everywhere else we work.

What we’re called out for in Middleton
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
Before booking anyone
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- If travel is included in the price
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Why repair rather than replace?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Middleton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How it works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Ensure the area is dry
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Middleton questions
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you cover Middleton?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Middleton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Middleton as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
