Bath re-enamelling for Reddish homes

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Reddish

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 a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can help.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Repair or replace: which is better?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Reddish. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • No need to remove anything

What we are called out for in Reddish

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

The things customers generally mention when they call include:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

Questions to ask before you book

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How to look after the finish
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

10 questions to ask before booking

What affects the price in Reddish

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • A photo taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your SK5 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Reddish

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is there a smell?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. Inside and out.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you come to Reddish?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Reddish. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will the new finish last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

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

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