How to care for the repair

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

  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Have chips seen to early

Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.

About our bath re-enamelling in Alford

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. If you’re dealing with brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and thin, worn enamel in places, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

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

Landlord and trade work in Alford

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Lincolnshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Alford?

Often the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.

Common reasons people in Alford contact us include:

  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Wear marks under the taps

When we would advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

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

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to most of the day, tidy-up included.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

FAQs for Alford

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How long does re-enamelling last?

Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

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

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Does re-enamelling smell?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
