About our bath re-enamelling in Hoole Bank

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Whether it’s a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can help, whatever the material.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a full day. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  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 on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the next day.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Advice

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

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

Materials we repair

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

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Hoole Bank?

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off

How to compare quotes

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Hoole Bank

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Cheshire West and Chester, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you cover Hoole Bank?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Hoole Bank. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Hoole Bank. The price comes down to:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

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