About our bath re-enamelling in Over Kellet

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Whether it’s brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and several chips and rust patches, we can generally put it right, on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Over Kellet as everywhere else we work.

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

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

What we work on

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

Common problems we fix in Over Kellet

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

Common reasons people in Over Kellet contact us are:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

What to look for in a quote

  • How soon you can use it again
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Who will actually do the work

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Landlord and trade work in Over Kellet

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

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.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Related advice

Common questions in Over Kellet

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

How long will the bath be out of use?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Lancashire.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
