Bath Re-enamelling in Wainstalls
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing in Wainstalls, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Have chips seen to early
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Bath re-enamelling in Wainstalls without replacing anything
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We work on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and people most frequently call us about a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a coating lifting around the plughole.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Common questions in Wainstalls
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
How long is the bath unusable?
Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your HX2 postcode.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
What your bath is made of matters
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
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
How the visit works
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes a full day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wainstalls use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Repair or replace in Wainstalls?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why book with us
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
