About our bath re-enamelling in Sabden

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a coloured bath you want in white.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Sabden and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What affects the price in Sabden

Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Sabden. What changes the price is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • 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.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the whole bath

If you’re in Sabden and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

FAQs for Sabden

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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.

Will the bath be moved?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price. You are under no obligation.

Can landlords book you?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

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

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Usually one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
