How we handle bath re-enamelling in Old Roan
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We are frequently asked to fix an old resurfacing that’s failing and an outdated colour you’d like to change, in pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Old Roan. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

What else we do in Old Roan
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Old Roan
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Have chips seen to early
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Questions from Old Roan
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do you work in Old Roan?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Old Roan and the rest of Sefton. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A bath split right through the body
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Old Roan
Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, generally first under the taps and around the waste.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- A coloured bath you want in white
