Bath re-enamelling near Birthorpe

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Birthorpe

We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It typically takes one visit, and can be used again the day after. If you’re dealing with enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and several chips and rust patches, we can help, on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths alike.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Birthorpe and across Lincolnshire.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Roll-top and period baths

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

Repair or replace in Birthorpe?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Birthorpe questions

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Common problems we fix in Birthorpe

Older baths often have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off

Before booking anyone

  • How the colour is matched
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Our hiring checklist

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
