Bath re-enamelling near Hatton

Bath re-enamelling in Hatton, done in place

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Common call-outs are for an outdated colour you’d like to change and chips and rust in more than one place, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Materials and what they mean for 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 what we repair.

Roll-top and period baths

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

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Hatton questions

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Warrington.

Will the new finish last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Will the bath be moved?

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.

Does re-enamelling smell?

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

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match

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 will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size

You do not need a survey visit. 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.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Hatton

Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Stains that won’t shift

Before you book anyone

  • What preparation is included
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What happens if they find more damage

Repairing versus replacing in Hatton

Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. 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.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Take a look at our prices page and bath cost comparison.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take most of the day. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
