Bath re-enamelling for Lerryn homes

About our bath re-enamelling in Lerryn

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Common call-outs are for a roll-top that’s seen better days and an old resurfacing that’s failing, across basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • How many areas need work

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

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

What we work on

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

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to most of the day, including clearing up.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for 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.

Lerryn: your questions answered

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

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

How soon can you come?

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

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Will the bath be moved?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

How long does re-enamelling last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Why repair rather than replace?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One visit for most repairs

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Lerryn?

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

Look out for these signs:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

What your quote should include

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How long it needs to cure
