How we handle bath re-enamelling in Bourne

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about a peeling or bubbling previous coating and an outdated colour you’d like to change.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take the best part of a day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage

Related advice

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Bourne?

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

Our hiring checklist

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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’s what we repair.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

What we cannot put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A bath that’s rusted through

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

Repairing versus replacing in Bourne

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

See our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Common questions in Bourne

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. Inside and out.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Will the new finish last?

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

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Landlord and trade work in Bourne

For anyone letting property in or around Bourne, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Lincolnshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Have chips seen to early

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
