About our bath re-enamelling in Cheadle Hulme

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Our technicians work on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and people most often call us about a roll-top that’s seen better days and thin, worn enamel in places.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Stockport.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Access to the area
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage

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

Quotes from your photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Common questions in Cheadle Hulme

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Cheadle Hulme.

Will there be fumes?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Cheadle Hulme?

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

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

How long is the bath unusable?

Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

What we can’t put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • 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 will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Cheadle Hulme

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

Common reasons people in Cheadle Hulme contact us include:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

10 questions to ask before you book

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

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

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

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 normally the cheaper route.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes the best part of a day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  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. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Repairs by material

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

Landlord and trade work in Cheadle Hulme

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
