Bath re-enamelling near Lamb Corner

Bath re-enamelling in Lamb Corner, done in place

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. If you are dealing with an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, we can typically put it right.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Lamb Corner: your questions answered

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Generally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Take a look at our pricing or bath cost comparison.

Landlord and trade work in Lamb Corner

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A metal bath with a through crack

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

Materials we work on in Lamb Corner

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

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

How it works

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Lamb Corner. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job.

When to call us in Lamb Corner

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

People usually call us after spotting one of these:

  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What aftercare is recommended

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
