Bath re-enamelling for Beswick homes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Beswick

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Whether it’s enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and an old resurfacing that’s failing, we can normally put it right, on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage

We do not add 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.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Should you replace it?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing usually wins. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Normally one visit, start to finish

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take the best part of a day.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  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.

Beswick questions

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you cover the entire of Greater Manchester?

The whole UK, including all of Greater Manchester. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Will the bath be moved?

No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Beswick?

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

What your quote should include

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Beswick, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
