Bath re-enamelling at your home in Cockerham

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Whether it’s an outdated colour you’d like to change and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

FAQs for Cockerham

Will there be fumes?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can landlords book you?

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

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you come to Cockerham?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Cockerham and the rest of Lancashire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

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

What we work on

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

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.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area

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

Getting a price from photos

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Repairing versus replacing in Cockerham

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Work done at your home or business

See our prices page and bath cost comparison.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Cockerham?

The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Clients generally contact us about:

  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

What your quote should include

  • When it can be used again
  • How the colour is matched
  • Aftercare advice
  • What happens if they find more damage
