Bath re-enamelling near Limpenhoe

What we’re called out for in Limpenhoe

The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Look out for these signs:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

Our hiring checklist

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Limpenhoe

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We work on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a roll-top that’s seen better days.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

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

Surfaces we repair

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

What affects the price in Limpenhoe

Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Limpenhoe. The price comes down to:

  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Landlord and trade work in Limpenhoe

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.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Repair or replace in Limpenhoe?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
