Bath re-enamelling near Runcorn

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Runcorn

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. If you’re dealing with a coating lifting around the plughole and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can help, on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths alike.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

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

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Runcorn

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you quote from pictures?

Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Will the bath be moved?

No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.

Do you work in Runcorn?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Runcorn and the rest of Halton. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Runcorn and the rest of Halton. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Landlord and trade work in Runcorn

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a full day.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

Most clients in Runcorn get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Advice

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Have chips seen to early
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • No need to remove anything
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Read our pricing and bath cost comparison.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
