Bath re-enamelling at your home in Eccleston

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Our repair technicians work on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Common problems we fix in Eccleston

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Wear marks under the taps

What to look for in a quote

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

10 questions to ask before you book

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow most of the day, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Eccleston: your questions answered

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Eccleston?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Landlord and trade work in Eccleston

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
