When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Bath re-enamelling in Lilbourne 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 an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and several chips and rust patches, we can help.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Lilbourne and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a full day for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Common problems we fix in Lilbourne

Often the bath has just had decades of use. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

Questions to ask before booking

  • When it can be used again
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Repair or replace in Lilbourne?

There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • No need to remove anything

See our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

FAQs for Lilbourne

How long is the bath unusable?

Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Will the new finish last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What do you need from me?

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

Do you cover Lilbourne?

We do. We send a technician to Lilbourne for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
