Our bath re-enamelling service in Cheshire West and Chester

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. Our technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a roll-top that’s seen better days and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for the best part of a day. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
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 generally ready the following day.

Green spaces nearby include Hockenhull Platts.

How the damage happens

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

The most common problems we are called about are:

A peeling or bubbling previous coating
A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
Several chips and rust patches
Stains that won’t shift

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

Avoid suction-cup mats
Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Wash away dyes and oils after use

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

Any earlier repairs that need removing first
How easy the damage is to reach
Unusual colours or finishes
The type of damage

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

What it’s made of, if you know
A wider photo showing the whole bath
Where you are, by postcode
Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For landlords and businesses

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Questions from Cheshire West and Chester

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

How long does re-enamelling last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
