Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

About our bath re-enamelling in Garstang

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and common reasons people contact us are stains that won’t shift and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.

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

Common problems we fix in Garstang

Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, typically first under the taps and around the waste.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

Questions to ask before booking

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What happens if they find more damage

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a repair can’t fix

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A metal bath with a through crack

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Cast iron baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Acrylic baths

Questions from Garstang

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Are there extra charges for Garstang?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your PR3 postcode.

Is there a smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

What affects the price in Garstang

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Garstang. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
