Bath re-enamelling in Whitefield, done in place

If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is generally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. If you’re dealing with thin, worn enamel in places and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Bury.

Common problems we fix in Whitefield

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

The things customers normally mention when they call include:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

  • What prep work is covered
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Who will actually do the work

Questions from Whitefield

What areas do you cover?

All of Bury, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Normally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Repair or replace in Whitefield?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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.

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Take a look at our pricing and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take most of the day, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
