About our bath re-enamelling in Swettenham Heath

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are staining under the taps and around the waste and lots of chips and rust spots.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cheshire East.

The process

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Swettenham Heath?

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

Look out for these signs:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Several chips and rust patches

What your quote should include

  • How to care for the finish
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How the colour is matched

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A fixed quote before booking

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Swettenham Heath?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Does re-enamelling smell?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

What we can’t put right

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
