About bath re-enamelling in St Helens

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. Typical jobs include a coating lifting around the plughole and wear marks under the taps, on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
Primer and finish coats are applied.
The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

What it costs in St Helens

Not far away are Billinge Hill.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Keep suction mats out of the bath

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

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

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
A bath split right through the body
A bath that is rusted through

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

How hard the colour is to match
Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Doing more than one item at once
Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for St Helens. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

A photo taken from further back
Natural light rather than flash
A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
A close-up of the damage, in focus

Most clients in St Helens get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

St Helens questions

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

How long is the bath unusable?

Usually one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
