About our bath re-enamelling in Lowick

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Our repair technicians work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and staining under the taps and around the waste.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Questions from Lowick

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Do I need to be at home?

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

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Is there a smell?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

When to call us in Lowick

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is typically as strong as ever.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Several chips and rust patches

Before booking anyone

  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Our hiring checklist

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 regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  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. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Why repair rather than replace?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • One visit for most repairs

What affects the price in Lowick

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Lowick. What changes the price is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
