Bath re-enamelling in Moorside, done in place
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Our technicians work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about worn patches where water runs and sits and staining under the taps and around the waste.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

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 a new finish makes them look new again.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Questions from Moorside
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Moorside?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will the bath be moved?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A bath that’s rusted through
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths

Common problems we fix in Moorside
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
Common reasons people in Moorside contact us include:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
Questions to ask before you book
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and generally a day, with the bath back in use the following day. Prices start from £350. We do not 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.
Why us?
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- A fixed quote before booking
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
