Bath re-enamelling near Windlehurst

Can I fix it myself?

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

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Windlehurst

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Whether it’s stains that won’t shift and a coloured bath you want in white, we can help, on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Windlehurst?

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off

10 questions to ask before you book

What we can’t put right

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

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Windlehurst. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Windlehurst questions

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

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

Does someone need to be in?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

How long is the bath unusable?

Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

Should you replace it?

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day, with the bath back in use the following day. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • No need to remove anything

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Repair dripping taps early

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

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to the best part of a day.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
