Bath re-enamelling for Lilyhurst homes

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Have chips seen to early

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Bath re-enamelling in Lilyhurst, done in place

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. If you are dealing with an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can help, on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths alike.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Lilyhurst, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Lilyhurst

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

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

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

How long does re-enamelling last?

Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

How long will the bath be out of use?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

What do you need from me?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

What we cannot put right

Materials we work on in Lilyhurst

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Roll-top and period baths

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

Repair or replace in Lilyhurst?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Same prices wherever you are

See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
