Bath re-enamelling in Strines, done in place
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. Typical jobs include an old resurfacing that’s failing and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, in Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Strines and across Stockport.

What else we do in Strines
Repairing versus replacing in Strines
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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.

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes most of the day.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- 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.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Strines
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
Look out for any of the following:
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Chips and rust in more than one place
What to look for in a quote
- What aftercare is recommended
- Who will actually do the work
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What prep work is covered
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
