How we handle bath re-enamelling in Moston
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. If you are dealing with a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and chips and rust in more than one place, we can usually put it right.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Moston as everywhere else we work.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.
Quotes from your photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For a price in Moston, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to the best part of a day, including clearing up.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Common questions in Moston
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Do you cover the whole of Cheshire West and Chester?
All of Cheshire West and Chester, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Usually, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

What else we do in Moston
What we cannot put right
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 will not last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Never use suction bath mats
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Repair dripping taps early
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
