About our bath re-enamelling in Lank

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the day after. Nothing is disconnected or removed. If you’re dealing with a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

When a repair is not the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left 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.

Repairing versus replacing in Lank

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

Common questions in Lank

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you quote from photos?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do you need to take the bath out?

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

Do you work in Lank?

We do. We send a technician to Lank for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

What affects the price in Lank

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

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

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Lank

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

What your quote should include

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Aftercare advice
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How your room will be protected
