Bath re-enamelling in Lechlade-on-Thames

Bath re-enamelling in Lechlade-on-Thames without replacing anything

We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Typical jobs include a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Roll-top and period baths

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

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes the best part of a day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Choosing a repair company

Lechlade-on-Thames: your questions answered

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Are there extra charges for Lechlade-on-Thames?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Lechlade-on-Thames?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Do you work in Lechlade-on-Thames?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Lechlade-on-Thames from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

Landlord and trade work in Lechlade-on-Thames

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Lechlade-on-Thames. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Cast iron baths
  • Acrylic baths
