About our bath re-enamelling in St Helens
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We are often asked to fix staining under the taps and around the waste and thin, worn enamel in places, on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.
When we’d advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A bath that is rusted through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Landlords, agents and businesses in St Helens
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Common questions in St Helens
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How long will the bath be out of use?
One day for most baths, ready the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Do you come to St Helens?
We do. Technicians travel to St Helens from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in St Helens?
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

- Wear marks under the taps
