Bath re-enamelling in Mellor

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

About our bath re-enamelling in Mellor

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people contact us are an old resurfacing that’s failing and a roll-top that’s seen better days.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take most of the day.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Mellor. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Mellor, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • No need to remove anything

Repairs by material

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Mellor questions

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do you cover Mellor?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Mellor and the rest of Blackburn with Darwen. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

When to call us in Mellor

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, generally first under the taps and around the waste.

People normally call us when they notice one of these:

  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A roll-top that is seen better days

What your quote should include

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Who turns up on the day
