About our bath re-enamelling in West Timperley

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. Whether it’s an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a coating lifting around the plughole, we can typically put it right, on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

West Timperley questions

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Do you cover the whole of Trafford?

We work UK-wide, so West Timperley is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take most of the day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

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

Surfaces we repair

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

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Common problems we fix in West Timperley

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.

Look out for any of the following:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • Wear marks under the taps

What your quote should include

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How long it needs to cure
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
