Bath re-enamelling in Clay Lake without replacing anything

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. We work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and staining under the taps and around the waste.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Clay Lake

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What affects the price in Clay Lake

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Most clients in Clay Lake get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Steel that has corroded right through

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

When to call us in Clay Lake

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

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

What your quote should include

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Who will actually do the work
  • If travel is included in the price

10 questions to ask before booking

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Store bottles off the bath

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Roll-top and period baths

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

Common questions in Clay Lake

Do you charge for travel?

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

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Clay Lake?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your PE11 postcode.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

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

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a full 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. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
