Bath re-enamelling in Newsham

Common problems we fix in Newsham

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Stains that won’t shift
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days

Comparing quotes

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Who turns up on the day
  • When it can be used again
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Newsham

The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It typically takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Common call-outs are for a roll-top that’s seen better days and stains that won’t shift, across cast iron baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Lancashire.

Repairs by material

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 is the part we put right.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

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

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  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 prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Open a window if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Newsham, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • A bath that is rusted through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

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

Materials we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
