Bath re-enamelling in Davenport

About our bath re-enamelling in Davenport

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Our repair technicians work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and people most frequently call us about wear marks under the taps and chips and rust in more than one place.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

Questions from Davenport

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

How long is the bath unusable?

Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Typically, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Davenport

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

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

When to call us in Davenport

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing

Questions to ask before booking

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How the colour is matched
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Our hiring checklist

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes most of the day for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
