Bath re-enamelling near Bosley

About our bath re-enamelling in Bosley

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We regularly repair cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are a peeling or bubbling previous coating and worn patches where water runs and sits.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Bosley questions

How long does re-enamelling last?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, typically with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

How long is the bath unusable?

Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you cover the whole of Cheshire East?

The whole UK, including all of Cheshire East. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

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

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Where you are, by postcode

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A bath that’s rusted through

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Have chips seen to early
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Bosley. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

When to call us in Bosley

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • An old resurfacing that is failing

How to compare quotes

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a full day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

Most customers in Bosley get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bosley

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For anyone letting property in or around Bosley, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
