Bath re-enamelling near Rothwell

Bath re-enamelling in Rothwell 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. Common call-outs are for several chips and rust patches and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, across basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

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

Rothwell: your questions answered

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off

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

Materials we work on in Rothwell

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Rothwell

Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

The things customers normally mention when they call include:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

What your quote should include

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Who will actually do the work

Choosing a repair company

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Rothwell. The price comes down to:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach

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.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes most of the day in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

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

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Repair or replace in Rothwell?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why book with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
