About our bath re-enamelling in Great Harwood

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. Typical jobs include staining under the taps and around the waste and worn patches where water runs and sits, across Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What we’re called out for in Great Harwood

Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is typically as strong as ever.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

Before you book anyone

  • How the colour is matched
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

10 questions to ask before you book

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Great Harwood, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Great Harwood use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Great Harwood

Does re-enamelling smell?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Do you cover the entire of Lancashire?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, 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 clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  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 any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Great Harwood. The price reflects:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size

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

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Steel that has corroded right through

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

What we work on

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

Repairing versus replacing in Great Harwood

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
