Bath re-enamelling for Eccles homes

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Eccles

The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It generally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. If you’re dealing with thin, worn enamel in places and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can help, on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Respect the curing time we give you

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a full day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

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 hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode

For a price in Eccles, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Repairing versus replacing in Eccles

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Eccles. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Eccles

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Typically one day, with the bath ready the next day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

Will there be fumes?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

When we would advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

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

Materials we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

For anyone letting property in or around Eccles, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

When to call us in Eccles

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • Several chips and rust patches

Before booking anyone

  • Aftercare advice
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
