Bath re-enamelling near Lidsing

Bath re-enamelling in Lidsing without replacing anything

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. If you’re dealing with wear marks under the taps and an outdated colour you’d like to change, we can help, whatever the material.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before 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.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode

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

Questions from Lidsing

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

Are there extra charges for Lidsing?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Do you cover Lidsing?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Lidsing. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there a smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Lidsing?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a full day, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A bath that’s rusted through

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

Why repair rather than replace?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the following day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
