Bath re-enamelling near Fillingham

When we would advise against a repair

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Basins & shower trays

Bath re-enamelling in Fillingham, done in place

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Typical jobs include an outdated colour you’d like to change and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, across acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Fillingham and across Lincolnshire.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match

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.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Questions from Fillingham

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Will there be fumes?

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

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Typically, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

If you manage property in Fillingham, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a full day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Why repair rather than replace?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

  • No need to remove anything

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What we’re called out for in Fillingham

Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

Common reasons people in Fillingham contact us are:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

Questions to ask before booking

  • How your room will be protected
  • Aftercare advice
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether the price covers travel
