Bath re-enamelling for Burton-by-Lincoln homes

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Burton-by-Lincoln

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. Common call-outs are for a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, in Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Landlord and trade work in Burton-by-Lincoln

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

For anyone letting property in or around Burton-by-Lincoln, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Burton-by-Lincoln

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Most customers in Burton-by-Lincoln get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Should you replace it?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why Burton-by-Lincoln customers choose us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Same prices wherever you are

Common questions in Burton-by-Lincoln

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

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

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

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Generally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

How long does re-enamelling last?

Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

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 will say so.

What happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes most of the day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
