Need bath re-enamelling in Claughton?

What we’re called out for in Claughton

Older baths often have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

Our hiring checklist

Bath re-enamelling in Claughton without replacing anything

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. Common call-outs are for a bath in a colour that no longer suits and an old resurfacing that’s failing, in basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

  • Acrylic baths
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Cast iron baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Basins & shower trays

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow the best part of a day from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Claughton, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For anyone letting property in or around Claughton, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Claughton?
