Bath re-enamelling in Fold Hill, done in place

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We work on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are several chips and rust patches and a roll-top that’s seen better days.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Never use suction bath mats

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, 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.

Common problems we fix in Fold Hill

The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

People normally call us when they notice something like this:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

Questions to ask before you book

  • Who turns up on the day
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Aftercare advice
  • How changes to the job are handled

Choosing a repair company

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Roll-top and period baths

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

Questions from Fold Hill

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Will the new finish last?

Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Is there a smell?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

How long is the bath unusable?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the next day. We give you timings with the quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Fold Hill

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Lincolnshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the following day. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • No extra charge for your area

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes the best part of a day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
