Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

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.

Bath re-enamelling in Hoghton without replacing anything

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. Our technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are thin, worn enamel in places and a coloured bath you want in white.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Hoghton

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days

Questions to ask before you book

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

10 questions to ask before booking

Common questions in Hoghton

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Does the bath have to be removed?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Typically one day, with the bath ready the next day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Hoghton included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

What affects the price in Hoghton

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

For landlords and businesses

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.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Repair dripping taps early

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  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. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
