Bath re-enamelling at your home in Chorley

If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about thin, worn enamel in places and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Where you are, by postcode

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • The material, if you know it

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

What we’re called out for in Chorley

Older baths frequently have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

Clients generally contact us about:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

Before you book anyone

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Choosing a repair company

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Chorley

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Chorley use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Common questions in Chorley

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Do you cover the whole of Staffordshire?

All of Staffordshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Staffordshire.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

If you’re in Chorley and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
