Trusted bath re-enamelling in Hykeham

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Hykeham

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We work on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are wear marks under the taps and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a full day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Advice

What affects the price in Hykeham

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Hykeham. The price reflects:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Hykeham. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Hykeham questions

What do you need from me?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Landlord and trade work in Hykeham

If you manage property in Hykeham, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Should you replace it?

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. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
