Bath re-enamelling in Lostock Hall

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Lostock Hall. The price comes down to:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Lostock Hall

The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It generally takes one visit, and can be used again the day after. We work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and chips and rust in more than one place.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

The process

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  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

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Repair or replace in Lostock Hall?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Lostock Hall. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

What we can’t put right

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

  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

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

Surfaces we repair

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

FAQs for Lostock Hall

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you come to Lostock Hall?

We do. Technicians travel to Lostock Hall from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

Common problems we fix in Lostock Hall

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, generally first under the taps and around the waste.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How changes to the job are handled
