We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It generally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Whether it’s wear marks under the taps and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can help, on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths alike.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A metal bath with a through crack

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

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

What affects the price in Rainford Junction

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your WA11 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Repairing versus replacing in Rainford Junction

There are times replacing is better: 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. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why Rainford Junction clients choose us

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Work done at your home or business

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rainford Junction as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes most of the day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Related advice

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Rainford Junction?

Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, usually first under the taps and around the waste.

Customers normally contact us about:

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Stains that won’t shift

What your quote should include

  • How to look after the finish
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How soon you can use it again

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
