Bath re-enamelling near Ashton

Bath re-enamelling in Ashton, done in place

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Our technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a coloured bath you want in white and staining under the taps and around the waste.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Ashton

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

Before you book anyone

  • How the colour is matched
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What happens if they find more damage

Our hiring checklist

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes most of the day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Common questions in Ashton

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Do you come to Ashton?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Ashton. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens next?

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

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Are you accredited?

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

Is there a smell?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Can you quote from photos?

Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Repairs by material

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.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Repairing versus replacing in Ashton

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
