Bath re-enamelling in Cuerden

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Bath re-enamelling in Cuerden, done in place

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Whether it’s brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Cuerden: your questions answered

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

What we are called out for in Cuerden

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

People normally call us after spotting one of these:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Stains that will not shift
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

Before you book anyone

  • Aftercare advice
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How soon you can use it again

Should you replace it?

A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Cuerden. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to most of the day, tidy-up included.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Open a window if you can
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A bath that is rusted through
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

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