Bath re-enamelling in Poulton-le-Sands without replacing anything

We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It normally takes one visit, and can be used again the following day. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are staining under the taps and around the waste and a coating lifting around the plughole.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Poulton-le-Sands

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.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

How to compare quotes

What we can’t put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Poulton-le-Sands questions

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

What happens after I send pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

How long does re-enamelling last?

Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Poulton-le-Sands?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Should you replace it?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a full day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Landlord and trade work in Poulton-le-Sands

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Different materials, different repairs

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’s what we repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
