Trusted bath re-enamelling in Brownlow

Bath re-enamelling in Brownlow without replacing anything

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We regularly repair acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are a roll-top that’s seen better days and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Brownlow and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Brownlow

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

When to call us in Brownlow

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

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • An old resurfacing that is failing

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material
  • How many areas need work

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A picture taken from further back

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for most of the day from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Have chips seen to early

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Should you replace it?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

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

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Brownlow

How long will the bath be out of use?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Are there extra charges for Brownlow?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

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

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
