How we handle bath re-enamelling in Scholes
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are stains that won’t shift and chips and rust in more than one place.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes most of the day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A picture taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
If you’re in Scholes and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Common problems we fix in Scholes
Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Chips and rust in more than one place
What your quote should include
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether the price covers travel
- What preparation is included
- How the colour is matched
Common questions in Scholes
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Scholes?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Wigan. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and generally a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why us?
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- No need to remove anything

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
