Bath re-enamelling in High Moor without replacing anything

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is usually the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Whether it’s a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and wear marks under the taps, we can generally put it right.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Wigan.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Landlords, agents and businesses in High Moor

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in High Moor as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A bath split right through the body
  • A bath that is rusted through

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Repairing versus replacing in High Moor

A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. 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.

What you get with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
