Bath re-enamelling for Bradley Fold homes

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Bradley Fold

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.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Stains that will not shift
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

What your quote should include

  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether they match the colour on site

10 questions to ask before booking

Bath re-enamelling in Bradley Fold, done in place

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Whether it’s worn patches where water runs and sits and a coloured bath you want in white, we can normally put it right, on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths alike.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Bolton.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Bradley Fold questions

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

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.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. Inside and out.

When we’d advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

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

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

For anyone letting property in or around Bradley Fold, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired

Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

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

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Open a window if you can

Why repair rather than replace?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Colour-matched on site
