Bath re-enamelling near Lackham

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • A bath that is rusted through

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Lackham

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Whether it’s a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and wear marks under the taps, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a full day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Ensure the area is dry

What we are called out for in Lackham

Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.

Look out for these signs:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

How to compare quotes

Landlord and trade work in Lackham

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Wiltshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

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.

Repairing versus replacing in Lackham

Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

How to look after the repair

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

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

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

Lackham: your questions answered

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Will the new finish last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
