Should you replace it?

There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Read our full price list and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Store bottles off the bath

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow most of the day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

What affects the price in Bottom o' the Moor

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material

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.

Bottom o' the Moor: your questions answered

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. Inside and out.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you cover the entire of Bolton?

All of Bolton, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bottom o' the Moor use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A bath split right through the body

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
