Bath re-enamelling in Holbeach Fen

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Holbeach Fen

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We work on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are worn patches where water runs and sits and a coating lifting around the plughole.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Holbeach Fen and across Lincolnshire.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Holbeach Fen. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

When we’d advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

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.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the whole surface without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically 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.

Why Holbeach Fen clients choose us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colour-matched on site
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

See our prices page or bath cost comparison.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

When to call us in Holbeach Fen

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

The things customers typically mention when they call are:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

Comparing quotes

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Our hiring checklist

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take most of the day, tidy-up included.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  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

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

Questions from Holbeach Fen

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

How long does re-enamelling last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is there a smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
