How we handle bath re-enamelling in Barrowford
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We’re frequently asked to fix a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a coating lifting around the plughole, on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes the best part of a day in most cases. The room is left tidy.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice
What we can’t put right
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Steel that has corroded right through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
Landlord and trade work in Barrowford
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Can I fix it myself?
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 usually cheaper.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Barrowford?
Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
