Need bath re-enamelling in Picton?

What we are called out for in Picton

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

Rented homes near Bache station (about 2.6 miles south-west) change hands often, and repairing baths between tenants is quicker than replacing them.

What your quote should include

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

10 questions to ask before booking

Bath re-enamelling in Picton without replacing anything

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. If you have thin, worn enamel in places and several chips and rust patches, we can help.

In a village or hamlet like Picton, homes are often older cottages, farmhouses and barn conversions. Some have heavy cast iron baths or tight bathrooms, and getting a bath out along a lane or up narrow stairs is hard work. Bath re-enamelling in place avoids all of that.

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

What a repair can’t fix

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlord and trade work in Picton

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cheshire West and Chester and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

Repair or replace in Picton?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Replacement in Picton means trades, travel and waste removal, while a repair is a single visit.

Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • No need to remove anything
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. Quotes cost nothing and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Picton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the whole bath

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again. Somewhere like Picton needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the bath re-enamelling comes with us in one trip.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
