Bath re-enamelling in Moorstock, done in place
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. We’re frequently asked to fix a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, in pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Store bottles off the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Moorstock
For anyone letting property in or around Moorstock, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
What we are called out for in Moorstock
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Wear marks under the taps
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
Questions to ask before booking
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long it needs to cure
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, with the bath ready the day after. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
FAQs for Moorstock
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
