About our bath re-enamelling in Wrightington Bar

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the day after. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. If you are dealing with a peeling or bubbling previous coating and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Common problems we fix in Wrightington Bar

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

Our hiring checklist

Repairs by material

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.

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 is what we repair.

What a repair cannot fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

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

Surfaces we repair

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

The process

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a full day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:

  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Wrightington Bar, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Wrightington Bar

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Are there extra charges for Wrightington Bar?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
