We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It typically takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Whether it’s worn patches where water runs and sits and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can help.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Shaw Green and across Lancashire.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

What we can’t put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Shaw Green

Common questions in Shaw Green

Do you cover the entire of Lancashire?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

How long does re-enamelling take?

One day for most baths, ready the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Will there be fumes?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

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.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for the best part of a day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
