Bath re-enamelling near Aby

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Aby

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. If you are dealing with a coloured bath you want in white and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can help, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Aby

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

FAQs for Aby

Do you cover the whole of Lincolnshire?

The whole UK, including all of Lincolnshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Generally one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Will it make a mess?

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

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.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Repair or replace in Aby?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

Common problems we fix in Aby

The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A coloured bath you want in white

What your quote should include

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How soon you can use it again

10 questions to ask before booking

How to care for the repair

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

  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Repair dripping taps early

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
