Bath re-enamelling in Walmer Bridge

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Walmer Bridge

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Whether it’s an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and lots of chips and rust spots, we can help.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Walmer Bridge as everywhere else we work.

What your bath is made of matters

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’s what we repair.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

What happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

What we’re called out for in Walmer Bridge

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Before booking anyone

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How your room will be protected
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Our hiring checklist

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Why repair rather than replace?

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Read our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Walmer Bridge as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

For anyone letting property in or around Walmer Bridge, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Walmer Bridge: your questions answered

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote. There is no obligation to book.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you cover Walmer Bridge?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Walmer Bridge and the rest of Lancashire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs

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

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
