Bath re-enamelling in Larton

About our bath re-enamelling in Larton

Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Our technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and stains that won’t shift.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take most of the day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the following day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, 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 anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

When to call us in Larton

Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.

The things customers generally mention when they call include:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Several chips and rust patches

Before booking anyone

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What happens if they find more damage

Our hiring checklist

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Larton: your questions answered

How long does re-enamelling take?

One day for most baths, ready the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

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

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Why repair rather than replace?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
