Bath re-enamelling in Davyhulme

Bath re-enamelling in Davyhulme, done in place

The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It typically takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Typical jobs include an old resurfacing that’s failing and wear marks under the taps, across pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Landlord and trade work in Davyhulme

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Davyhulme use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

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

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Davyhulme, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Davyhulme. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Colour-matched on site
  • We leave the room as we found it

Choosing a repair company

Questions from Davyhulme

Are you accredited?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Are there extra charges for Davyhulme?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Typically, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.

Do you need to take the bath out?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

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

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
