How we handle bath re-enamelling in Whalley Banks
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 We work on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and people most frequently call us about an outdated colour you’d like to change and a roll-top that’s seen better days.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Lots of chips and rust spots

- Thin, worn enamel in places
What your quote should include
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Aftercare advice
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How the visit works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for the best part of a day. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- 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.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Store bottles off the bath
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Whalley Banks. What changes the price is:
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
