Bath re-enamelling for Wrightington homes

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Bath re-enamelling in Wrightington, done in place

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Whether it’s a bath in a colour that no longer suits and several chips and rust patches, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Wrightington and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

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

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A metal bath with a through crack

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

FAQs for Wrightington

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Wrightington.

Will the bath be moved?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Typically, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Wrightington?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Should you replace it?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Wrightington. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
