Bath re-enamelling for Lighthorne homes

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Lighthorne

Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and thin, worn enamel in places.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a full day, including clearing up.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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.

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.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

When to call us in Lighthorne

Older baths frequently have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

Clients generally contact us about:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

10 questions to ask before you book

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Lighthorne

Do you need to take the bath out?

No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Do you work in Lighthorne?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Lighthorne from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Can you quote from pictures?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lighthorne

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • 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.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
