Bath re-enamelling in Hoghton Bottoms, done in place

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We work on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about several chips and rust patches and stains that won’t shift.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

  • A bath split right through the body

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What affects the price in Hoghton Bottoms

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Hoghton Bottoms. What changes the price is:

  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Questions from Hoghton Bottoms

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Will the price change on the day?

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

Do you work in Hoghton Bottoms?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Hoghton Bottoms and the rest of Lancashire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Is there any odour?

Is there a guarantee?

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a full day in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Landlord and trade work in Hoghton Bottoms

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

10 questions to ask before booking

Repairing versus replacing in Hoghton Bottoms

There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
