Trusted bath re-enamelling in Lady Bay

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Bath re-enamelling in Lady Bay without replacing anything

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We’re frequently asked to fix a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and several chips and rust patches, on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What we are called out for in Lady Bay

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

The things customers generally mention when they call are:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

Before you book anyone

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How to look after the finish
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What preparation is included

How to compare quotes

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lady Bay

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  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. Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

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

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

FAQs for Lady Bay

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Is there a smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

Do you come to Lady Bay?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Lady Bay. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How long does re-enamelling last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
