How we handle bath re-enamelling in Bridge Trafford

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We work on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people contact us are several chips and rust patches and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.

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

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a full day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice

Should you replace it?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • A fixed quote before you book

Common questions in Bridge Trafford

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed quote. You’re under no obligation.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Do I have to be there?

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

How long does re-enamelling take?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the next day. We will confirm timings when we quote.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Store bottles off 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 make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

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 often lifts.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bridge Trafford

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

Common problems we fix in Bridge Trafford

Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

What your quote should include

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What preparation is included
