About our bath re-enamelling in Standish
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Whether it’s a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a coloured bath you want in white, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Wigan.

When we’d advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A bath that’s rusted through
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Never use suction bath mats
- Have chips seen to early
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
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.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Standish questions
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes the best part of a day. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- 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 next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Open a window if you can
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Why repair rather than replace?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
