Bath re-enamelling in Laughton without replacing anything

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Whether it’s chips and rust in more than one place and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can help, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access

Advice

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

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

Materials we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

What we are called out for in Laughton

Older baths often have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

People typically call us after spotting one of these:

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

What your quote should include

  • Who turns up on the day
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

10 questions to ask before booking

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Laughton questions

Will you leave a mess?

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

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Laughton?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

How long will the bath be out of use?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Laughton and the rest of Leicestershire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

Landlord and trade work in Laughton

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What affects the price in Laughton

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode

You do not need a survey visit. 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.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
