How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take the best part of a day, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  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. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Questions from Highlane

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Will the bath be moved?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Highlane?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Common problems we fix in Highlane

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

The things customers usually mention when they call are:

  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How your room will be protected
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Aftercare advice

10 questions to ask before booking

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your SK11 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Landlord and trade work in Highlane

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Highlane as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cheshire East and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
