Bath re-enamelling in Gawthorpe

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • The material, if you know it

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

10 questions to ask before you book

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Should you replace it?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

If you are 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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Common questions in Gawthorpe

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

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

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Will the bath be moved?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Is it messy?

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

When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

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