Bath re-enamelling in Farington without replacing anything

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We regularly repair acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are a coating lifting around the plughole and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for most of the day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  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. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Make sure the area is dry

Ask for a price

Advice

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

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

Roll-top and period baths

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

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Questions from Farington

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Lancashire.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your PR25 postcode.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

When to call us in Farington

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

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Stains that won’t shift

Comparing quotes

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

How to compare quotes

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
