Need bath re-enamelling in Broughton?

Honest limits

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

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Broughton

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

Bath re-enamelling in Broughton without replacing anything

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We regularly repair acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Broughton and across Greater Manchester.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Landlord and trade work in Broughton

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Broughton

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Do you need to take the bath out?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Broughton and the rest of Greater Manchester. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Should you replace it?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What we’re called out for in Broughton

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.

People usually call us after spotting one of these:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

What your quote should include

  • Who will actually do the work
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether the price covers travel

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

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 pay close attention there.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes most of the day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
