Bath re-enamelling in Hyde

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • One visit for most repairs
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We leave the room as we found it

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Hyde

If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Our technicians work on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are an old resurfacing that’s failing and stains that won’t shift.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

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

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A metal bath with a through crack

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Hyde

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

How long is the bath unusable?

Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Landlord and trade work in Hyde

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

The process

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  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. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

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 we will come back with a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

When to call us in Hyde

Often the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing

What your quote should include

  • Who turns up on the day
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the price covers travel
