Bath re-enamelling in Keelby

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  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 normally ready the day after.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

Bath re-enamelling in Keelby without replacing anything

We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We’re frequently asked to fix a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a roll-top that’s seen better days, in basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Should you replace it?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.

Why book with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Keelby, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Questions from Keelby

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Do you cover the entire of North East Lincolnshire?

We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.

Will the bath be moved?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
