Bath re-enamelling in Flixton

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Flixton

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We work on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people contact us are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Flixton?

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Common questions in Flixton

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

How do I book?

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

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you need to take the bath out?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Flixton?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your YO11 postcode.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Related advice

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

We do not 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.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Roll-top and period baths

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

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

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

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
