Bath re-enamelling in Adlington

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Adlington

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and common reasons people contact us are a bath in a colour that no longer suits and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a full day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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 price

You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the whole bath

If you are in Adlington and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

When to call us in Adlington

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

10 questions to ask before you book

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Adlington

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Take a look at our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
