DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

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 doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Amber Hill

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We work on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.

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

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a full day. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  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. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

If you manage property in Amber Hill, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Repairing versus replacing in Amber Hill

A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Common questions in Amber Hill

Do you need to take the bath out?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Do you cover the entire of Lincolnshire?

The whole UK, including all of Lincolnshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

How long is the bath unusable?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Will the new finish last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

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

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

What we’re called out for in Amber Hill

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Most people contact us after spotting something like this:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How your room will be protected

  • What happens if they find more damage
