Bath re-enamelling in Ashton-under-Lyne

About our bath re-enamelling in Ashton-under-Lyne

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We’re frequently asked to fix thin, worn enamel in places and a roll-top that’s seen better days, in cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and generally a day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Ashton-under-Lyne. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why Ashton-under-Lyne clients choose us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • No need to remove anything

When to call us in Ashton-under-Lyne

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

Questions to ask before booking

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How the colour is matched
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What preparation is included

Choosing a repair company

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

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

Acrylic

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

Ashton-under-Lyne questions

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Ashton-under-Lyne?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Will the new finish last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Are there extra charges for Ashton-under-Lyne?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

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

What we work on

  • Acrylic baths
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Cast iron baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Basins & shower trays

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a full day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Ensure the area is dry

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
