Bath re-enamelling for Haighton Top homes

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Haighton Top

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are staining under the taps and around the waste and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Lancashire.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Haighton Top. What changes the price is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Haighton Top: your questions answered

Do you work in Haighton Top?

We do. Technicians travel to Haighton Top from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What happens next?

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

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

How long does re-enamelling last?

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

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

When we would advise against a repair

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

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

10 questions to ask before you book

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Landlord and trade work in Haighton Top

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

If you manage property in Haighton Top, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

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

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  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. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage
