How we handle bath re-enamelling in Royton
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Whether it’s enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and wear marks under the taps, we can usually put it right.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Royton: your questions answered
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Royton
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Repair or replace: which is better?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why us?
- No need to remove anything
- Most jobs done in one visit
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- A year’s guarantee on all work

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
