Bath re-enamelling at your home in Sowerbutt's Green
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. Whether it’s thin, worn enamel in places and an outdated colour you’d like to change, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Repair dripping taps early
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- 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.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Open a window if you can

Common questions in Sowerbutt's Green
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What affects the price in Sowerbutt's Green
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Sowerbutt's Green. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
Most clients in Sowerbutt's Green get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Why repair rather than replace?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, with the bath ready the day after. Prices start from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that is rusted through
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we work on in Sowerbutt's Green
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
