Bath re-enamelling near Shirdley Hill

Bath re-enamelling in Shirdley Hill, done in place

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. Common call-outs are for a bath in a colour that no longer suits and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, across basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Shirdley Hill

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Lancashire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. 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.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Everything repaired in place

FAQs for Shirdley Hill

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

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

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Will the new finish last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Will there be fumes?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

What we can’t put right

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

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

What we work on

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

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

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

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes most of the day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  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 day after.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Shirdley Hill

Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is typically perfectly sound.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
