What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairs by material

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Lane End questions

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

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you come to Lane End?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Lane End. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Lane End

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.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days

Before booking anyone

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What prep work is covered
  • Who will actually do the work

How to compare quotes

How the visit works

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

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice

Should you replace it?

Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Same prices wherever you are

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Never use suction bath mats

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

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Landlord and trade work in Lane End

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lane End as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
