Bath re-enamelling at your home in Rainford

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. Whether it’s thin, worn enamel in places and lots of chips and rust spots, we can usually put it right.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Store bottles off the bath

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

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Rainford

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A roll-top that is seen better days

What your quote should include

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Who turns up on the day
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What aftercare is recommended

How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.

Repairing versus replacing in Rainford

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Take a look at our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What affects the price in Rainford

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • How much damage there is

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  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 on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
