Bath re-enamelling in Wigan without replacing anything
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Typical jobs include worn patches where water runs and sits and an outdated colour you’d like to change, on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a full day in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

FAQs for Wigan
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Wigan is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Wigan?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Are there extra charges for Wigan?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Wigan. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For a price in Wigan, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Store bottles off the bath
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
