Bath re-enamelling in Clatterbridge

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Clatterbridge

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We are frequently asked to fix lots of chips and rust spots and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, in Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Clatterbridge

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Clatterbridge?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your CH63 postcode.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

Related advice

When to call us in Clatterbridge

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

The things customers normally mention when they call are:

  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

Before booking anyone

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

How to compare quotes

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

What affects the price in Clatterbridge

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
