Bath re-enamelling in Ladmanlow

About our bath re-enamelling in Ladmanlow

The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It typically takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Common call-outs are for thin, worn enamel in places and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, in pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Ladmanlow and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath that is rusted through
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Never use suction bath mats

Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Common questions in Ladmanlow

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

How long does re-enamelling last?

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

Should you replace it?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
