Bath re-enamelling in Rishton

What we’re called out for in Rishton

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

People normally call us when they notice one of these:

  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

Before booking anyone

  • How long it needs to cure
  • How the colour is matched
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

About our bath re-enamelling in Rishton

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Common call-outs are for a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and staining under the taps and around the waste, in pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

FAQs for Rishton

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Do you work in Rishton?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Rishton and the rest of Blackburn with Darwen. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

Landlord and trade work in Rishton

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

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

Should you replace it?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • No need to remove anything

Read our pricing and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a full day, depending on what we find, 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. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

What affects the price in Rishton

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What we can’t put right

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A metal bath with a through crack

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Rishton

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

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

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

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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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, and the work is guaranteed.
