Bath re-enamelling at your home in Southport
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. We work on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and people most frequently call us about a coloured bath you want in white and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Southport as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Have chips seen to early
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 any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Southport
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off

What else we do in Southport
Questions from Southport
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Usually one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Do you work in Southport?
We do. Technicians travel to Southport from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A metal bath with a through crack
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repairing versus replacing in Southport
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, 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. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for most of the day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
