Bath re-enamelling for New Manchester homes

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Bath re-enamelling in New Manchester without replacing anything

We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It usually takes one visit, and can be used again the day after. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are chips and rust in more than one place and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Steel that has corroded right through

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a full day.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in New Manchester

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Does re-enamelling smell?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in New Manchester use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What we’re called out for in New Manchester

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
