Bath re-enamelling for Tunstall homes

About our bath re-enamelling in Tunstall

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We work on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are thin, worn enamel in places and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Choosing a repair company

Should you replace it?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

See our full price list or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

FAQs for Tunstall

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do you cover the entire of Lancashire?

The whole UK, including all of Lancashire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Landlord and trade work in Tunstall

If you manage property in Tunstall, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Make sure the area is dry

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
