Bath re-enamelling in Aughton

Bath re-enamelling in Aughton, done in place

The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It typically takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about a bath in a colour that no longer suits and chips and rust in more than one place.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Lancashire.

FAQs for Aughton

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

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

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Do you come to Aughton?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Aughton and the rest of Lancashire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Will the bath be moved?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the whole bath

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Aughton

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Aughton

Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

Comparing quotes

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

How to compare quotes

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. 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 pictures.

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