Trusted bath re-enamelling in Betley

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Cast iron

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

Bath re-enamelling in Betley, done in place

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Our repair technicians work on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people contact us are an old resurfacing that’s failing and a coloured bath you want in white.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

When to call us in Betley

Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

Comparing quotes

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • If travel is included in the price
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

10 questions to ask before booking

Betley questions

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Cheshire East.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Do you come to Betley?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Betley. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a full day. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Related advice

Should you replace it?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Colour-matched on site
  • A fixed quote before you book

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Betley. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
