Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Have chips seen to early
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured

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

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Bath re-enamelling in Ladygrove, done in place

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is generally the most cost-effective option. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Whether it’s an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes most of the day. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Open a window if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Ladygrove questions

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is there a smell?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Derbyshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

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

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

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

What we cannot put right

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ladygrove as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

What affects the price in Ladygrove

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
