Bath re-enamelling at your home in Withington
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Common call-outs are for a coloured bath you want in white and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, in acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

When we’d advise against a repair

What else we do in Withington
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Have chips seen to early
- Repair dripping taps early
- Store bottles off the bath
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
What affects the price in Withington
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Why repair rather than replace?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Withington
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Typically, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Withington?
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Lots of chips and rust spots
What to look for in a quote
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How the colour is matched
- How changes to the job are handled
- Who will actually do the work
