DIY kit or professional repair?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Gunby

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Whether it’s a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and wear marks under the taps, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Lincolnshire.

Questions from Gunby

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a full day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Make sure the area is dry

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, 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. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A photo taken from further back

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Gunby?

Older baths frequently have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

Comparing quotes

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Choosing a repair company

Repairs by material

Acrylic

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

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Gunby, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

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