DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Northwich
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Whether it’s lots of chips and rust spots and thin, worn enamel in places, we can help, on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Northwich
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CW8 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Northwich use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What we’re called out for in Northwich
Older baths frequently have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- Chips and rust in more than one place
Before booking anyone
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What prep work is covered
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the price covers travel
Different materials, different repairs
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.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
