Bath re-enamelling near Knotty Ash

Questions from Knotty Ash

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

About our bath re-enamelling in Knotty Ash

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We work on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about thin, worn enamel in places and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.

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

What affects the price in Knotty Ash

Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Knotty Ash. The price comes down to:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

What a repair can’t fix

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

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

Materials we work on in Knotty Ash

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Choosing a repair company

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes the best part of a day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting 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.
