If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

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

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the whole bath

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Common questions in Fleet Hargate

How long is the bath unusable?

Normally one day, with the bath ready the day after. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you cover the whole of Lincolnshire?

We cover the entire UK, including Fleet Hargate and the rest of Lincolnshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

What we are called out for in Fleet Hargate

Older baths frequently have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Wear marks under the taps

Comparing quotes

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Who will actually do the work

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes the best part of a day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Open a window if you can

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A metal bath with a through crack

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
