Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Whitegate, Greater Manchester
Damaged bath in Whitegate? We repair it in place, match it on site and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Bath re-enamelling in Whitegate without replacing anything
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We are often asked to fix a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, in cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Whitegate. The price reflects:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Should you replace it?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

When we’d advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Whitegate: your questions answered
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the next day. We give you timings with the quote.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you work in Whitegate?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Whitegate from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a full day.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Whitegate?
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Wear marks under the taps
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Chips and rust in more than one place
