About our bath re-enamelling in Wallasey
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Whether it’s a coating lifting around the plughole and several chips and rust patches, we can help, on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths alike.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.
Wallasey questions
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Wallasey included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
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, and the work is guaranteed.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CH44 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a full day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Store bottles off the bath
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Respect the curing time we give you
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Wallasey
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
Clients normally contact us about:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Chips and rust in more than one place
What to look for in a quote
- How to care for the finish
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the price covers travel
Other services in Wallasey
Repair or replace in Wallasey?
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. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Wirral and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
