Trusted bath re-enamelling in Lenwade

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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.

Bath re-enamelling in Lenwade, done in place

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Whether it’s an outdated colour you’d like to change and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can help.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What bath re-enamelling costs

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

  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

When to call us in Lenwade

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

Questions to ask before booking

  • If travel is included in the price
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What happens if they find more damage

Choosing a repair company

Common questions in Lenwade

Is there a smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is repairing better 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.

Do you cover Lenwade?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Lenwade from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

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

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Will the new finish last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow the best part of a day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  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

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

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

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
