Bath re-enamelling for Poulton homes

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Poulton customers choose us

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Work done at your home or business

Bath re-enamelling in Poulton without replacing anything

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Typical jobs include a coating lifting around the plughole and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Poulton and across Liverpool.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Poulton. The price reflects:

  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For a price in Poulton, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

When we would advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

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

Materials we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Poulton?

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

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

Poulton questions

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

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

When can you do it?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Poulton.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Is there a smell?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
