Bath re-enamelling at your home in Middlewood Green

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 Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and chips and rust in more than one place.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What a repair can’t fix

Common questions in Middlewood Green

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Typically one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

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

Will the bath be moved?

No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Repair or replace in Middlewood Green?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

How we price bath re-enamelling

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

  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash

For a price in Middlewood Green, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

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 what we repair.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

How it works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away

Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
