Bath re-enamelling in Eccles

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Eccles

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

Will the new finish last?

Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Eccles

The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It usually takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and people most frequently call us about a roll-top that’s seen better days and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for most of the day. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and generally a day, with the bath back in use the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Work done at your home or business
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

See our full price list or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What we cannot put right

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

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

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

Materials we repair

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

Landlord and trade work in Eccles

If you manage property in Eccles, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Eccles. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A photo taken from further back

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

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 baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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.
