Bath re-enamelling near Hindley Green

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Hindley Green

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Whether it’s lots of chips and rust spots and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can help, on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths alike.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Hindley Green questions

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

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Can landlords book you?

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

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

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.

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know

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

Repairs by material

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 is the part we put right.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  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. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

When to call us in Hindley Green

Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, usually first under the taps and around the waste.

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

What your quote should include

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How the colour is matched
  • How to care for the finish

Choosing a repair company

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, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
