Trusted bath re-enamelling in Chinley

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Chinley

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We work on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and people most frequently call us about a coloured bath you want in white and staining under the taps and around the waste.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Repair or replace in Chinley?

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. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Why book with us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Everything repaired in place
  • We leave the room as we found it

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs

For a price in Chinley, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take the best part of a day, including clearing up.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

What we are called out for in Chinley

Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, typically first under the taps and around the waste.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Wear marks under the taps

Questions to ask before booking

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What happens if they find more damage
