Repair or replace in Sower Carr?

What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

About our bath re-enamelling in Sower Carr

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We work on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are a coating lifting around the plughole and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Lancashire.

Choosing a repair company

The process

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can

What affects the price in Sower Carr

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Sower Carr. The price reflects:

  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Sower Carr questions

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do you work in Sower Carr?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Sower Carr. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How long is the bath unusable?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the next day. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is my repair covered?

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

How long does re-enamelling last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed quote. There’s no obligation to book.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Store bottles off the bath

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Sower Carr, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

What your bath is made of matters

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.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
