  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Chowley

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the day after. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We’re frequently asked to fix an outdated colour you’d like to change and chips and rust in more than one place, in basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Chowley

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

FAQs for Chowley

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

How long does re-enamelling take?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

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

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

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do you work in Chowley?

We do. We send a technician to Chowley for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How the visit works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take the best part of a day, including clearing up.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
