Bath re-enamelling in Kelby, done in place

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and worn patches where water runs and sits.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Repair or replace in Kelby?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Prices start from £350. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Kelby: your questions answered

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

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Kelby included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Honest limits

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Kelby. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Kelby, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a full day in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Kelby

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kelby

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Lincolnshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
