Bath re-enamelling for Lilybank homes

Bath re-enamelling in Lilybank, done in place

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. If you are dealing with brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and an old resurfacing that’s failing, we can help, on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a full day in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear the area around the damage

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A bath that’s rusted through

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

FAQs for Lilybank

How long does re-enamelling take?

Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Generally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you price it without visiting?

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