Bath re-enamelling in Bury

Should you replace it?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Bath re-enamelling in Bury without replacing anything

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. If you’re dealing with brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and several chips and rust patches, we can normally put it right, on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths alike.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

The process

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a full day from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Ensure the area is dry

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode

For a price in Bury, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Questions from Bury

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

How long does re-enamelling last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

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.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Cambridgeshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Have chips seen to early

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

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

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Bury

Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Stains that will not shift
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
