Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lostock Gralam as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Bath re-enamelling in Lostock Gralam, done in place
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. If you are dealing with brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and an old resurfacing that’s failing, we can typically put it right, on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops alike.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Holes rusted through the metal
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates

Should you replace it?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
The process
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a full day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
