Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

About our bath re-enamelling in Charnock Richard

The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It typically takes one visit, and can be used again the day after. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and people most often call us about an outdated colour you’d like to change and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Charnock Richard?

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

Common reasons people in Charnock Richard contact us include:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

10 questions to ask before booking

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired

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

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.
