Bath re-enamelling for Blacon homes

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Bath re-enamelling in Blacon, done in place

The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the next day. We are frequently asked to fix enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and lots of chips and rust spots, across cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Common problems we fix in Blacon

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

Our hiring checklist

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Blacon

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Will the new finish last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Do you cover Blacon?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Blacon from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

What areas do you cover?

All of Cheshire West and Chester, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

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 the part we put right.

What affects the price in Blacon

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

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Blacon, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

How it works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow the best part of a day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
