Do you need bath re-enamelling in Heaton Norris?

The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Several chips and rust patches

Different materials, different repairs

Should you replace it?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why Heaton Norris clients choose us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Same prices wherever you are

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes most of the day. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Heaton Norris questions

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Do you cover the whole of Greater Manchester?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Will there be fumes?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

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

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Holes rusted through the metal

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