What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

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

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Littleborough

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We are frequently asked to fix enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and an old resurfacing that’s failing, on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Littleborough and across Rochdale.

Questions from Littleborough

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

What happens after I send pictures?

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

Will the new finish last?

Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Do you come to Littleborough?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Littleborough from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Littleborough. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash

Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Littleborough, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

When to call us in Littleborough

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Common reasons people in Littleborough contact us include:

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

Choosing a repair company

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Repair or replace: which is better?

There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What you get with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

The process

There’s 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. The job generally runs to a full day.

  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. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
