Trusted bath re-enamelling in Wilmslow

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Wilmslow

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Typical jobs include a roll-top that’s seen better days and a coating lifting around the plughole, on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Wilmslow. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Wilmslow, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

When to call us in Wilmslow

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, normally first under the taps and around the waste.

Clients usually contact us about:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Several chips and rust patches

What your quote should include

  • When it can be used again
  • How your room will be protected
  • What preparation is included
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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 the part we put right.

Roll-top and period baths

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

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Never use suction bath mats

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

When we would advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

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

Materials we work on in Wilmslow

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Wilmslow questions

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How long does re-enamelling last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes most of the day.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
