When to call us in Cackleshaw

The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

Customers usually contact us about:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

Before you book anyone

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • What prep work is covered
  • Who will actually do the work

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes most of the day in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Why repair rather than replace?

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • No extra charge for your area
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Questions from Cackleshaw

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

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

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Cackleshaw?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Will the bath be moved?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cackleshaw

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Cackleshaw. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
