Bath re-enamelling at your home in Manchester
We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the next day. Our technicians work on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about worn patches under the taps and lots of chips across the bath.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater Manchester. Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

How the visit works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a full day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Manchester?
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, usually first under the taps and around the waste. Once the surface is rough, it stains and holds dirt, and no amount of scrubbing brings the shine back.
People usually call us when they notice one of these:
- A previous resurfacing that is peeling
- Worn patches under the taps
- Stains and limescale marks that are etched in
- Dull, rough enamel that won’t come clean
Questions to ask before you book

Repair or replace in Manchester?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
