Bath re-enamelling near Skellorn Green

Bath re-enamelling in Skellorn Green without replacing anything

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Common call-outs are for a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and wear marks under the taps, in pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Skellorn Green: your questions answered

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Are you accredited?

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

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.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Cheshire East. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, 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.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Skellorn Green

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

Repairing versus replacing in Skellorn Green

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, with the bath ready the following day. Prices start from £350. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What we’re called out for in Skellorn Green

Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

Common reasons people in Skellorn Green contact us include:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

Questions to ask before you book

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What prep work is covered
  • What aftercare is recommended

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How it works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It usually takes the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
