Bath re-enamelling in Barrow Nook

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to the best part of a day, tidy-up included.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  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 until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Barrow Nook

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We’re often asked to fix an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your L39 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A metal bath with a through crack

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Never use suction bath mats

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

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Barrow Nook use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Common questions in Barrow Nook

Do you come to Barrow Nook?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Barrow Nook. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Barrow Nook?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

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 I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Why repair rather than replace?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • No need to remove anything
  • One visit for most repairs
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
