Bath re-enamelling for Windy Harbour homes

Landlords, agents and businesses in Windy Harbour

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Windy Harbour use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

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

Bath re-enamelling in Windy Harbour, done in place

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We are frequently asked to fix an old resurfacing that’s failing and stains that won’t shift, in pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

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 day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for the best part of a day. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Windy Harbour?

Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

Choosing a repair company

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

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

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Windy Harbour

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

How long does re-enamelling last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Do you cover Windy Harbour?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Windy Harbour and the rest of Lancashire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
