Bath re-enamelling in Cheadle without replacing anything

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are a roll-top that’s seen better days and thin, worn enamel in places.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes the best part of a day. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Cheadle. The price comes down to:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Repairing versus replacing in Cheadle

Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Questions from Cheadle

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Are you accredited?

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cheadle

For anyone letting property in or around Cheadle, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cheadle as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
