Trusted bath re-enamelling in Moss Bank

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Bath re-enamelling in Moss Bank, done in place

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, 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 technicians work on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are a coating lifting around the plughole and a coloured bath you want in white.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

FAQs for Moss Bank

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Generally one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Usually, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Repair or replace in Moss Bank?

Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

What you get with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Moss Bank. The price comes down to:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

What a repair cannot fix

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

  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow the best part of a day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

If you are in Moss Bank and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Never use suction bath mats

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
