Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Rusholme
We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We’re often asked to fix wear marks under the taps and a coloured bath you want in white, in cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Rusholme and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What a repair cannot fix
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

FAQs for Rusholme
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Rusholme.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Is there a smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price. There’s no obligation to book.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Rusholme
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Stains that won’t shift
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Lots of chips and rust spots

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Repairing versus replacing in Rusholme
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
What you get with us
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Everything repaired in place
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
See our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Get any chip repaired quickly
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

What happens on the day

- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
