Bath re-enamelling at your home in Lavernock

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We’re frequently asked to fix wear marks under the taps and lots of chips and rust spots, on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Lavernock as everywhere else we work.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A bath that is rusted through
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • What it’s made of, if you know

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

The process

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Common questions in Lavernock

Do you come to Lavernock?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Lavernock. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

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

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Will there be fumes?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

When to call us in Lavernock

Older baths often have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

Questions to ask before booking

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • When it can be used again
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace in Lavernock?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
