Bath re-enamelling for Middleton homes

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Middleton

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Typical jobs include several chips and rust patches and stains that won’t shift, across cast iron baths, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear the area around the damage

Repairing versus replacing in Middleton

A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why Middleton customers choose us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • No need to remove anything

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

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

Acrylic

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Common problems we fix in Middleton

Older baths often have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • Stains that won’t shift

Our hiring checklist

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Prices and what affects them

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

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

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

If you are in Middleton and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
