Bath re-enamelling at your home in Limbury

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Whether it’s enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Why repair rather than replace?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Work done at your home or business
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Most jobs done in one visit

See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Different materials, different repairs

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 pay close attention there.

Roll-top and period baths

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Limbury

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What do you need from me?

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

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes the best part of a day, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  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. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Advice

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Limbury as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

What affects the price in Limbury

Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Limbury. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Limbury. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A picture taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Limbury

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, usually first under the taps and around the waste.

Clients typically contact us about:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing

Before booking anyone

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
