Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

  • Any details about the material
  • A picture taken from further back

Most customers in Slyne get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Bath re-enamelling in Slyne without replacing anything

We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the next day. We work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people contact us are a roll-top that’s seen better days and a coloured bath you want in white.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Slyne and across Lancashire.

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to most of the day, including clearing up.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Slyne: your questions answered

Does re-enamelling smell?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Will the new finish last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Lancashire.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Slyne and the rest of Lancashire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Will the bath be moved?

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing usually wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why us?

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Slyne

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

People normally call us after spotting something like this:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Roll-top and period baths

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

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

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

What we work on

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

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
