Advice
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Orrell
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are chips and rust in more than one place and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper 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.
Common problems we fix in Orrell
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is typically perfectly sound.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Several chips and rust patches
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
Questions to ask before you book
- How to care for the finish
- How the colour is matched
- Who will actually do the work
- When it can be used again

When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A bath split right through the body
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths

FAQs for Orrell
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Do you cover Orrell?
We do. Technicians travel to Orrell from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day, with the bath back in use the following day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
