Bath Re-enamelling for Hasthorpe homes
Problem with your bath in Hasthorpe? We put it right where it is, match it on site and guarantee the work for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Hasthorpe
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Whether it’s a bath in a colour that no longer suits and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can typically put it right.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Lincolnshire.

When a repair is not the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Hasthorpe
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Respect the curing time we give you
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
The first few days matter most: 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. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Hasthorpe
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use. The body of the bath is usually perfectly sound.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Stains that won’t shift
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A coloured bath you want in white
What your quote should include
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

- How your room will be protected

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your LN13 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Hasthorpe: your questions answered
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Generally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Repairing versus replacing in Hasthorpe
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
