About our bath re-enamelling in Risley
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is generally the most cost-effective option. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Common call-outs are for enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and stains that won’t shift, on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What happens on the day
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes most of the day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Risley
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Risley. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Holes rusted through the metal
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays

Questions from Risley
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Do you cover Risley?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Risley for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface without moving it. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Never use suction bath mats
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
