How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Mottram in Longdendale
Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Wear marks under the taps
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

- Whether the colour is mixed to match

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
