Bath re-enamelling in Burscough

Bath re-enamelling in Burscough without replacing anything

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Our technicians work on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are chips and rust in more than one place and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Burscough

Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Stains that will not shift
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Our hiring checklist

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Burscough use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes the best part of a day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Common questions in Burscough

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. Inside and out.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

How long is the bath unusable?

Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Repair or replace in Burscough?

A new 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. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • A fixed quote before you book

What affects the price in Burscough

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
