Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Bath re-enamelling in East Kirkby without replacing anything

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Whether it’s wear marks under the taps and a coloured bath you want in white, we can help, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Common problems we fix in East Kirkby

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colour-matched on site

See our prices page or bath cost comparison.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes the best part of a day for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

If you manage property in East Kirkby, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Can I fix it myself?

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

FAQs for East Kirkby

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Will there be fumes?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including East Kirkby and the rest of Lincolnshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

Will the bath be moved?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the whole bath
