  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • An old resurfacing that is failing

How to compare quotes

Bath re-enamelling in Lowick, done in place

We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It typically takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Whether it’s enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can typically put it right, on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Lowick

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

How the visit works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to most of the day.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

What affects the price in Lowick

Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

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 to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Lowick

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You will get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.

Do you need to take the bath out?

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

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Generally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Landlord and trade work in Lowick

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lowick as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

For anyone letting property in or around Lowick, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
