Bath re-enamelling in Halton West without replacing anything

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. Common call-outs are for a coloured bath you want in white and lots of chips and rust spots, across cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take the best part of a day.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • A bath that is rusted through

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Halton West use us as well as homeowners. 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, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Repair or replace in Halton West?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

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.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

Getting a price from photos

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the whole bath

Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Halton West, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Does re-enamelling smell?
