Questions from Moston

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

How long does re-enamelling last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Will the bath be moved?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Are you accredited?

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

Will there be fumes?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Moston

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the day after. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Whether it’s enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and an outdated colour you’d like to change, we can typically put it right.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

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

Materials we repair

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

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes the best part of a day. The room is left tidy.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Moston as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Moston

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

Comparing quotes

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Aftercare advice
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

10 questions to ask before you book

Repair or replace: which is better?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Same prices wherever you are

Take a look at our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
