Bath re-enamelling near Worsthorne

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Worsthorne

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Whether it’s an old resurfacing that’s failing and an outdated colour you’d like to change, we can typically put it right, on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays alike.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Lancashire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Why repair rather than replace?

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. 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. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What we are called out for in Worsthorne

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

FAQs for Worsthorne

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Will the bath be moved?

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

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