Common questions in Hesketh Bank
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your PR4 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Repair dripping taps early
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage

Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Common problems we fix in Hesketh Bank
Older baths often have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Wear marks under the taps
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
Before booking anyone
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- What prep work is covered
- How long it needs to cure
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hesketh Bank as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
