Bath re-enamelling near Middle Hulton

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, with the bath ready the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • No need to remove anything
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Middle Hulton

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Common call-outs are for a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and staining under the taps and around the waste, across acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.

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

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

Choosing a repair company

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Steel that has corroded right through

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is

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 photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Details of any past repairs

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

Questions from Middle Hulton

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

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.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
