About our bath re-enamelling in Hallington
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Common call-outs are for stains that won’t shift and an old resurfacing that’s failing, in Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Hallington and across Lincolnshire.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Repair dripping taps early
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
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.
Repairing versus replacing in Hallington
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Hallington. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Questions from Hallington
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths, ready the next day. We give you timings with the quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Hallington. The price reflects:
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- One picture of the entire bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hallington
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hallington as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.
