Bath re-enamelling near Caythorpe

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

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

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Bath re-enamelling in Caythorpe without replacing anything

We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Typical jobs include lots of chips and rust spots and a coloured bath you want in white, across Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Common questions in Caythorpe

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

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

How long is the bath unusable?

Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Caythorpe is covered. Prices do not change with location.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Caythorpe?

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

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Stains that will not shift
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

Read our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

How we price bath re-enamelling

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

  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

For a price in Caythorpe, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
