Bath re-enamelling near Brookenby

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Bath re-enamelling in Brookenby without replacing anything

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Our technicians work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people contact us are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Roll-top and period baths

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

For landlords and businesses

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Lincolnshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

When to call us in Brookenby

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

Comparing quotes

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Aftercare advice
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Our hiring checklist

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • A fixed quote before booking

See our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Advice

Common questions in Brookenby

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
