Bath re-enamelling near Cabourne

Bath re-enamelling in Cabourne, done in place

The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Common call-outs are for a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and lots of chips and rust spots, across Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

When to call us in Cabourne

The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Aftercare advice
  • How your room will be protected

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in Cabourne

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

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any details about the material

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow the best part of a day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

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

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Repairing versus replacing in Cabourne

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing usually wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Cabourne

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can landlords book you?

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

Are there extra charges for Cabourne?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will the new finish last?

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

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we can’t put right

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

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
