Bath re-enamelling in Lewiston, done in place

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Whether it’s a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a coloured bath you want in white, we can usually put it right.

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

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

Should you replace it?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Take a look at our pricing and bath cost comparison.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

If you are in Lewiston and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Work for landlords and builders

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

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a full day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Related advice

Lewiston questions

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

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

What happens after I send photos?

You will get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Lewiston?

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
