How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take most of the day, including clearing up.

  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. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

Bath re-enamelling in Hyde, done in place

If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We regularly repair cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are thin, worn enamel in places and a coloured bath you want in white.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Common questions in Hyde

Will there be a smell?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

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

How long is the bath unusable?

Typically one day, with the bath ready the next day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Does re-enamelling smell?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For a price in Hyde, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Roll-top and period baths

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

When to call us in Hyde

Older baths often have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

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