Bath re-enamelling for Landkey homes

Bath re-enamelling in Landkey, done in place

We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It generally takes one visit, and can be used again the following day. We’re frequently asked to fix a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and wear marks under the taps, in Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Landlord and trade work in Landkey

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Landkey?

Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, typically first under the taps and around the waste.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

FAQs for Landkey

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.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

What happens after I send photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired

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

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One visit for most repairs
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
