Need bath re-enamelling in Tarporley?

Landlord and trade work in Tarporley

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tarporley as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Bath re-enamelling in Tarporley without replacing anything

We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Common call-outs are for a coating lifting around the plughole and an outdated colour you’d like to change, on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Common questions in Tarporley

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Does re-enamelling smell?

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

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What a repair can’t fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A bath that’s rusted through

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Tarporley

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

What affects the price in Tarporley

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

What we are called out for in Tarporley

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Wear marks under the taps

Questions to ask before booking

  • What preparation is included
  • When it can be used again
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Aftercare advice

How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes the best part of a day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  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. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
