Bath re-enamelling near Lacey Green

Bath re-enamelling in Lacey Green without replacing anything

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Typical jobs include staining under the taps and around the waste and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

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.

FAQs for Lacey Green

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

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

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Lacey Green and the rest of Buckinghamshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Lacey Green?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured

Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
