Bath re-enamelling in Rawtenstall, done in place
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We regularly repair cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about an outdated colour you’d like to change and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Rawtenstall and across Lancashire.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why us?
- One visit for most repairs
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Same prices wherever you are
Read our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
The process
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Rawtenstall. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Common questions in Rawtenstall
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
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.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Rawtenstall.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is there a smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Victorian roll-tops

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
