Bath Re-enamelling for Over Hulton homes

- Resurfacing from £350
- An old resurfacing that is failing

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Bath re-enamelling in Over Hulton, done in place
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Common problems we fix in Over Hulton
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Stains that will not shift
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
What to look for in a quote

- How the room is protected while they work
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A photo taken from further back
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your BL5 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Repair dripping taps early
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths

FAQs for Over Hulton
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Do you work in Over Hulton?
We do. We send a technician to Over Hulton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Generally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
