Bath re-enamelling for Radcliffe homes

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Radcliffe

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We’re often asked to fix a coating lifting around the plughole and thin, worn enamel in places, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.

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

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

10 questions to ask before booking

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

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

Materials we repair

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

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 doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Radcliffe

For anyone letting property in or around Radcliffe, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any details about the material

Most clients in Radcliffe get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Radcliffe: your questions answered

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

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

Do you come to Radcliffe?

We do. Technicians travel to Radcliffe from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes the best part of a day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the next day.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price
