Trusted bath re-enamelling in Whalley Range

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Never use suction bath mats

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Bath re-enamelling in Whalley Range, done in place

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and worn patches where water runs and sits.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Whalley Range and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Repairing versus replacing in Whalley Range

A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the whole surface without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

What you get with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • No need to remove anything
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

See our prices page and bath cost comparison.

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Ensure the area is dry

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Whalley Range. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

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

Common problems we fix in Whalley Range

Older baths often have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • An old resurfacing that is failing

How to compare quotes

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A metal bath with a through crack

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
