Trusted bath re-enamelling in Ramsbottom

Bath re-enamelling in Ramsbottom without replacing anything

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. If you’re dealing with chips and rust in more than one place and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Common problems we fix in Ramsbottom

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is usually perfectly sound.

The things clients typically mention when they call include:

  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

How to compare quotes

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ramsbottom

For anyone letting property in or around Ramsbottom, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ramsbottom as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Ramsbottom

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is there a smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Ramsbottom?

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

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Repairing versus replacing in Ramsbottom

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Ramsbottom. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • A bath split right through the body

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

What we work on

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

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a full day, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
