Bath re-enamelling in Whaley Thorns without replacing anything
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We are frequently asked to fix a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, across acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Whaley Thorns
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is there a smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Never use suction bath mats
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a full day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Whaley Thorns, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

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. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
