About our bath re-enamelling in Sandbach Heath

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Whether it’s a bath in a colour that no longer suits and lots of chips and rust spots, we can help, on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths alike.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Sandbach Heath?

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is typically perfectly sound.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

Comparing quotes

  • How soon you can use it again
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • 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. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Advice

Repairing versus replacing in Sandbach Heath

There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Sandbach Heath. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why Sandbach Heath customers choose us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

What affects the price in Sandbach Heath

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Common questions in Sandbach Heath

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

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.
