Trusted bath re-enamelling in Gillmoss

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Gillmoss

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, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are thin, worn enamel in places and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.

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

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes the best part of a day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gillmoss

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gillmoss as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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.

FAQs for Gillmoss

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is there a guarantee?

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

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Do you cover the entire of Liverpool?

Everywhere in the UK, Gillmoss included. Travel is included in the price.

How long does re-enamelling last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

What do you need from me?

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

Why repair rather than replace?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Gillmoss. What changes the price is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your L11 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

When to call us in Gillmoss

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, normally first under the taps and around the waste.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
