About our bath re-enamelling in High Biggins

Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. Common call-outs are for a coloured bath you want in white and staining under the taps and around the waste, across cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

High Biggins: your questions answered

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Do you work in High Biggins?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to High Biggins and the rest of Lancashire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Holes rusted through the metal

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

Materials we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

When to call us in High Biggins

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Several chips and rust patches

Before you book anyone

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Should you replace it?

A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface without moving it. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
