Bath re-enamelling for Low Crompton homes

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired

Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Low Crompton

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Whether it’s a roll-top that’s seen better days and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can generally put it right.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

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

Materials we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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.

Landlord and trade work in Low Crompton

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

When to call us in Low Crompton

Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • Several chips and rust patches

Before booking anyone

  • How the colour is matched
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Our hiring checklist

Low Crompton: your questions answered

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Will the new finish last?

Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

How do I book?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

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

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Do you need to take the bath out?

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

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Roll-top and period baths

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

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take the best part of a day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
