Bath re-enamelling in Tattenhall without replacing anything
We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It typically takes one visit, and can be used again the next day. If you’re dealing with wear marks under the taps and several chips and rust patches, we can generally put it right, on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths alike.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
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.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Tattenhall
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Is there a smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Do you come to Tattenhall?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Tattenhall from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Tattenhall
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
People generally call us after spotting one of these:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Stains that will not shift
- A coating lifting around the plughole
Comparing quotes
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Repair or replace in Tattenhall?

Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
