Bath re-enamelling in Leftwich

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes most of the day. We leave the room clean.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Leftwich

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Common call-outs are for a coloured bath you want in white and wear marks under the taps, in cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.

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

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

What affects the price in Leftwich

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CW9 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Questions from Leftwich

Does re-enamelling smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Will there be a smell?

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

Does the bath have to be removed?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

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

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

What areas do you cover?

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

Why repair rather than replace?

A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface without moving it. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

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, a professional repair is worth it.
