Trusted bath re-enamelling in Denton

Bath re-enamelling in Denton without replacing anything

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 regularly repair basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are a bath in a colour that no longer suits and an old resurfacing that’s failing.

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

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Repairing versus replacing in Denton

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Read our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What a repair cannot fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off

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

Materials we work on in Denton

Landlords, agents and businesses in Denton

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

When to call us in Denton

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.

Customers normally contact us about:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

Our hiring checklist

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Denton. The price comes down to:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Denton questions

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

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 you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

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

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Do you charge for travel?

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