Bath re-enamelling near Hale

Bath re-enamelling in Hale without replacing anything

We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. If you’re dealing with enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can help.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Hale

How long is the bath unusable?

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

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Will the new finish 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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hale as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A bath split right through the body

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

Materials we repair

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

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 we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

How we price bath re-enamelling

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

  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Hale

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, generally first under the taps and around the waste.

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

  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

Before you book anyone

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How the room is protected while they work

Choosing a repair company

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the next day.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
