Bath re-enamelling near Mellor

About our bath re-enamelling in Mellor

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Whether it’s an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can help, on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths alike.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Mellor and across Stockport.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, 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 prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

When to call us in Mellor

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A coloured bath you want in white

Repairs by material

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

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. It normally takes a full day.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Mellor questions

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you cover the whole of Stockport?

Everywhere in the UK, Mellor included. Travel is included in the price.

Are there extra charges for Mellor?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Landlord and trade work in Mellor

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Mellor use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

What affects the price in Mellor

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send photos for a quote

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
