What we can’t put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

About our bath re-enamelling in Kirkstead

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is usually the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and people most frequently call us about a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for the best part of a day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

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.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Kirkstead?

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, normally first under the taps and around the waste.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

Questions to ask before you book

  • Who turns up on the day
  • How to look after the finish
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Our hiring checklist

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Lincolnshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kirkstead as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
