Bath re-enamelling in Lewsey without replacing anything

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. If you are dealing with worn patches where water runs and sits and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can help.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Lewsey

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:

  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace: which is better?

There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

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

What we work on

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

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Lewsey. What changes the price is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Something in shot to show the size

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take most of the day.

  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lewsey

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

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Lewsey questions

Will the new finish last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will the bath be moved?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

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.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
