Trusted bath re-enamelling in Bolton-le-Sands

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Bolton-le-Sands

Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Common call-outs are for chips and rust in more than one place and a roll-top that’s seen better days, across Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.

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

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A metal bath with a through crack

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Bolton-le-Sands

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

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

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

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

What affects the price in Bolton-le-Sands

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

If you’re in Bolton-le-Sands and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Repairing versus replacing in Bolton-le-Sands

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Read our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Bolton-le-Sands

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.

Will the bath be moved?

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

Is there a smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Normally one day, with the bath ready the next day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for the best part of a day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
