Bath re-enamelling near Nether Alderley

Bath re-enamelling in Nether Alderley without replacing anything

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We work on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and people most often call us about an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and an old resurfacing that’s failing.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Nether Alderley

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

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

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Repairing versus replacing in Nether Alderley

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why book with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • No extra charge for your area

FAQs for Nether Alderley

Do you cover the entire of Cheshire East?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

How long does re-enamelling take?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is there a smell?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Will there be a smell?

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

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Nether Alderley?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

How we price bath re-enamelling

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

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
