For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in St Helens and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in New Boston
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We are often asked to fix a coating lifting around the plughole and thin, worn enamel in places, on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Should you replace it?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day, with the bath back in use the day after. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a full day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your WA11 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for New Boston. The price reflects:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in New Boston
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Which areas do you work in?
All of St Helens, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
