Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Eccleston

Will the price change on the day?

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

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

Do you come to Eccleston?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Eccleston. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

How do I book?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across St Helens.

Bath re-enamelling in Eccleston, done in place

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Whether it’s an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

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

Can I fix it myself?

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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, 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. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  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. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Make sure the area is dry

Ask for a price

Related advice

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Why repair rather than replace?

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Eccleston. What changes the price is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Eccleston, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we are called out for in Eccleston

Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Several chips and rust patches

Questions to ask before booking

  • How the room is protected while they work

How to compare quotes

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

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 what we repair.
