Bath re-enamelling at your home in Old Trafford
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We’re frequently asked to fix thin, worn enamel in places and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, in cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
What we’re called out for in Old Trafford
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is typically perfectly sound.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
Questions to ask before booking
- How the room is protected while they work
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How to look after the finish

What else we do in Old Trafford
How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
Most clients in Old Trafford get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Related advice
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Holes rusted through the metal
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Old Trafford. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the whole bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Old Trafford, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Never use suction bath mats
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
