Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Ulnes Walton
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We work on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are wear marks under the taps and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Lancashire.

Repairing versus replacing in Ulnes Walton
Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Have chips seen to early
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Questions from Ulnes Walton
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What happens after I send pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
