Bath re-enamelling at your home in Torkington

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Typical jobs include stains that won’t shift and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, across pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Torkington and across Stockport.

When to call us in Torkington

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

The things customers usually mention when they call are:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days

Before booking anyone

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What preparation is included
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • When it can be used again

How to compare quotes

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Torkington. What changes the price is:

  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your SK7 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

Related advice

Should you replace it?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, with the bath ready the day after. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Read our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

When a repair is not the answer

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Roll-top and period baths

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
