About our bath re-enamelling in Walkden
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people contact us are an outdated colour you’d like to change and wear marks under the taps.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
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.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A bath split right through the body
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Steel that has corroded right through
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
When to call us in Walkden
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
Look out for these signs:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Wear marks under the taps
Before you book anyone
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How long it needs to cure
- How your room will be protected

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Landlord and trade work in Walkden
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Repairing versus replacing in Walkden
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why Walkden clients choose us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- We leave the room as we found it
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
