How we handle bath re-enamelling in Winstanley
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Have chips seen to early
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
FAQs for Winstanley
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Winstanley?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your WN3 postcode.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
If you’re in Winstanley and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the next day. Prices start from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface 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.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes the best part of a day for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
