Bath re-enamelling in Tyldesley, done in place

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Whether it’s wear marks under the taps and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can normally put it right, on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Questions from Tyldesley

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Do you cover the whole of Wigan?

We cover the entire UK, including Tyldesley and the rest of Wigan. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

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

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Access to the area
  • The material
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

Most customers in Tyldesley get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

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

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.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Tyldesley

Older baths frequently have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

Common reasons people in Tyldesley contact us include:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

Questions to ask before you book

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What prep work is covered
  • How to look after the finish

How to compare quotes

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Landlords, agents and businesses in Tyldesley

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Tyldesley

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

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes the best part of a day. We leave the room clean.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
