Trusted bath re-enamelling in Lamellion

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Lamellion?

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Look out for these signs:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a full day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Questions from Lamellion

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

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Lamellion. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Steel that has corroded right through

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

Materials we repair

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

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Lamellion. The price reflects:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

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

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

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 kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
