How we handle bath re-enamelling in Rivington
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. If you’re dealing with brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can usually put it right.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Rivington. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why us?
- No need to remove anything
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Same prices wherever you are

When a repair isn’t the answer
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A bath split right through the body
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Rivington questions
How long is the bath unusable?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Rivington and the rest of Bolton. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
If you are in Rivington and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Rivington
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A coloured bath you want in white
- An old resurfacing that is failing
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What happens if they find more damage
- What prep work is covered
- Aftercare advice
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, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
