How we handle bath re-enamelling in Atterby

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is usually the most cost-effective option. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Our technicians work on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about staining under the taps and around the waste and a coloured bath you want in white.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Lincolnshire.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Atterby, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a full day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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 on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

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

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Atterby

Clients typically contact us about:

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

Choosing a repair company

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface without moving it. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Normally one visit, start to finish

FAQs for Atterby

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Does someone need to be in?

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

What happens after I send photos?

You will get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

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

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

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

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

How long does re-enamelling take?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.

Will there be fumes?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
