Bath re-enamelling for Austwick homes

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Austwick

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.

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

Repairing versus replacing in Austwick

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why Austwick clients choose us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

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 the part we put right.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a full day. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  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. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access

Advice

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

For landlords and businesses

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

If you manage property in Austwick, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Questions from Austwick

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Are there extra charges for Austwick?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

What do you need from me?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

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

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is there a smell?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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