About our bath re-enamelling in Oulton

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. If you’re dealing with an outdated colour you’d like to change and a coating lifting around the plughole, we can help, on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A metal bath with a through crack

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

Materials we work on in Oulton

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. 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. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to the best part of a day, including clearing up.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Questions from Oulton

Is there a smell?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Typically, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Do you need to take the bath out?

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Oulton?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

How to get a fixed price

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Never use suction bath mats

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Oulton?

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

Before you book anyone

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How the colour is matched
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
