When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A bath split right through the body

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Barnoldswick

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Nothing is disconnected or removed. If you’re dealing with thin, worn enamel in places and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can typically put it right.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a full day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear the area around the damage

Advice

Repair or replace in Barnoldswick?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • No need to remove anything

Read our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 typically cheaper.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the entire bath

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

For landlords and businesses

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

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
