Book bath re-enamelling in Davenport

Davenport: your questions answered

Does re-enamelling smell?

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

Do you cover the entire of Cheshire East?

Across the UK, and that includes Davenport. Prices do not change with location.

Do you come to Davenport?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Davenport. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Will the new finish last?

Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Davenport

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We are often asked to fix chips and rust in more than one place and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, across Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Have chips seen to early

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Davenport

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Honest limits

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

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Common problems we fix in Davenport

The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

People generally call us after spotting something like this:

  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • An old resurfacing that is failing

Before booking anyone

  • How to care for the finish
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site

How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a full day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  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. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
