Bath re-enamelling in Bushton

Bath re-enamelling in Bushton, done in place

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Whether it’s a coating lifting around the plughole and several chips and rust patches, we can help.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Bushton: your questions answered

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

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

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Are there extra charges for Bushton?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A bath split right through the body

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Bushton

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Bushton

Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

What your quote should include

  • How the colour is matched
  • How your room will be protected
  • What prep work is covered
  • What happens if they find more damage

How to compare quotes

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a full day. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Related advice

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Work for landlords and builders

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

Letting agents often 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.

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
