Bath re-enamelling in Holbeach St Johns, done in place

We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It usually takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We regularly repair acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and lots of chips and rust spots.

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

FAQs for Holbeach St Johns

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Will there be fumes?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Our hiring checklist

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes the best part of a day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Holbeach St Johns use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Repairing versus replacing in Holbeach St Johns

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Holbeach St Johns. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Work done at your home or business

Read our pricing and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What bath re-enamelling costs

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

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your photos

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A picture taken from further back

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

  • Cast iron baths
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Acrylic baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
