What else we do in Catterall
For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Catterall use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
What we are called out for in Catterall
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 period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Lots of chips and rust spots
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How soon you can use it again
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Repairing versus replacing in Catterall
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Catterall: your questions answered
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
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.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Catterall, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
