Bath re-enamelling in Whittle-le-Woods

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Whittle-le-Woods

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Common call-outs are for stains that won’t shift and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, across basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Lancashire.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day, with the bath back in use the following day. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, 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.

Why book with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Whittle-le-Woods as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

What affects the price in Whittle-le-Woods

Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What we cannot put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off

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