Bath re-enamelling near Denton

Bath re-enamelling in Denton without replacing anything

We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It typically takes one visit, and can be used again the day after. Whether it’s a peeling or bubbling previous coating and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can usually put it right.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath split right through the body
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Everything repaired in place
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

See our prices page and bath cost comparison.

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes most of the day. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

When to call us in Denton

Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

How to compare quotes

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Store bottles off the bath

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Landlord and trade work in Denton

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. 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.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Common questions in Denton

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match

We do not 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.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
