How we handle bath re-enamelling in Tonge
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It normally takes one visit, and can be used again the next day. Typical jobs include enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a coating lifting around the plughole, in pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Tonge and across Bolton.

Why repair rather than replace?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
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’s the part we put right.
Common problems we fix in Tonge
Older baths often have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

Landlords, agents and businesses in Tonge
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tonge as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
If you manage property in Tonge, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Common questions in Tonge
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Tonge?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Typically, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
What we can’t put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
