Trusted bath re-enamelling in Barlow Moor

Repairs by material

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Barlow Moor

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We’re often asked to fix an outdated colour you’d like to change and stains that won’t shift, in acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Barlow Moor. The price comes down to:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

When to call us in Barlow Moor

Older baths frequently have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

Our hiring checklist

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.

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

Repairing versus replacing in Barlow Moor

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
