Trusted bath re-enamelling in Haughton Green

Bath re-enamelling in Haughton Green without replacing anything

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about a coloured bath you want in white and chips and rust in more than one place.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Common problems we fix in Haughton Green

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

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

What your quote should include

  • How to look after the finish
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What happens if they find more damage

Our hiring checklist

What affects the price in Haughton Green

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size

If you are in Haughton Green and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

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

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Can I fix it myself?

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

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
