Bath re-enamelling for Banks homes

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Have chips seen to early
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

Bath re-enamelling in Banks without replacing anything

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. If you’re dealing with chips and rust in more than one place and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can help.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

FAQs for Banks

When can you do it?

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

Is it messy?

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

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

How long is the bath unusable?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.

Will there be fumes?

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

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Banks.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Banks. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • One visit for most repairs
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

What bath re-enamelling costs

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

  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take the best part of a day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Choosing a repair company

Landlords, agents and businesses in Banks

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Sefton and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
