About our bath re-enamelling in Elton

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Our technicians work on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are wear marks under the taps and a coloured bath you want in white.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Elton and across Bury.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Elton

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Bury and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a full day. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Different materials, different repairs

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.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

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 will not last.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Elton

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

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

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you cover the whole of Bury?

Everywhere in the UK, Elton included. Travel is included in the price.

Do you cover Elton?

We do. We send a technician to Elton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Common problems we fix in Elton

Older baths frequently have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

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

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

How to compare quotes

Why repair rather than replace?

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day. Prices start from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
