Bath re-enamelling in Rostherne

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Ensure the area is dry

Bath re-enamelling in Rostherne, done in place

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We’re frequently asked to fix lots of chips and rust spots and a coating lifting around the plughole, across pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cheshire East.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Rostherne questions

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Rostherne?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can landlords book you?

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

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Repairing versus replacing in Rostherne

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. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. 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 us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Everything repaired in place

What affects the price in Rostherne

Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Rostherne. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • The material, if you know it

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Landlord and trade work in Rostherne

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • A bath split right through the body
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Rostherne?

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, generally first under the taps and around the waste.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
