Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Bath re-enamelling in Bolton Woods without replacing anything

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Whether it’s an old resurfacing that’s failing and lots of chips and rust spots, we can help, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Store bottles off the bath

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Bolton Woods questions

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Are there extra charges for Bolton Woods?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will the new finish last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Do you work in Bolton Woods?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Bolton Woods from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

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

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Normally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Bolton Woods

Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.

The things clients normally mention when they call are:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

Choosing a repair company

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

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 is the part we put right.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes most of the day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear the area around the damage

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Cast iron baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Victorian roll-tops

What affects the price in Bolton Woods

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
