Bath re-enamelling in Talke without replacing anything
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about lots of chips and rust spots and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Talke?
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Wear marks under the taps
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- If travel is included in the price

How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Questions from Talke
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Talke?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a full day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
