Bath re-enamelling for Gatley Green homes

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a full day. We leave the room clean.

  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.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Open a window if you can

Advice

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Gatley Green

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. We work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and people most often call us about a bath in a colour that no longer suits and several chips and rust patches.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day, with the bath back in use the next day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Gatley Green. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

FAQs for Gatley Green

How long is the bath unusable?

Generally one day, with the bath ready the next day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Will the price change on the day?

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

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. Inside and out.

Does the bath have to be removed?

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cheshire East and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

For anyone letting property in or around Gatley Green, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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 give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
