The Quays questions
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Greater Manchester. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in The Quays
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We are frequently asked to fix an outdated colour you’d like to change and lots of chips and rust spots, across pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in The Quays and across Greater Manchester.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Most clients in The Quays get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
Places near The Quays
Other services in The Quays
Do you need bath re-enamelling in The Quays?
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
People generally call us when they notice one of these:
- Several chips and rust patches
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- A coating lifting around the plughole
What your quote should include
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What prep work is covered
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
DIY kit or professional repair?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
