Bath re-enamelling at your home in Much Hoole

Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. If you are dealing with wear marks under the taps and a coloured bath you want in white, we can generally put it right, on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A bath split right through the body

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we are called out for in Much Hoole

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What preparation is included
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

How to compare quotes

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

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.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a full day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  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. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

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 without visiting.
