About our bath re-enamelling in West Gorton
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We regularly repair cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about an old resurfacing that’s failing and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in West Gorton
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in West Gorton?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
How long will the bath be out of use?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Clients generally contact us about:
- Several chips and rust patches
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Stains that will not shift
- A coating lifting around the plughole
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It generally takes the best part of a day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
