Bath re-enamelling in Chorley without replacing anything

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people contact us are several chips and rust patches and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Repair dripping taps early

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

When to call us in Chorley

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

10 questions to ask before you book

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Chorley

Is there a smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

Do you cover the whole of Cheshire East?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Chorley. Prices do not change with location.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will the bath be moved?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Chorley.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Landlord and trade work in Chorley

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Repairing versus replacing in Chorley

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing usually wins. Prices start from £350. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Why Chorley customers choose us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Can I fix it myself?

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes most of the day for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  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. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

What affects the price in Chorley

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CW5 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
