Need bath re-enamelling in Heald Green?

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Bath re-enamelling in Heald Green, done in place

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We’re often asked to fix wear marks under the taps and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Heald Green questions

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

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

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Will the new finish last?

Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What we cannot put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Heald Green

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

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Stockport and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

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.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Repair dripping taps early

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

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

Repair or replace in Heald Green?

Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, with the bath ready the next day. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Heald Green?

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Most people contact us when they notice one of these:

  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

What your quote should include

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • What protection goes down before work starts
