Bath re-enamelling for Lindsey homes

Bath re-enamelling in Lindsey without replacing anything

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We’re frequently asked to fix a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a coloured bath you want in white, on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Lindsey

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How long does re-enamelling last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Is there a smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

Are there extra charges for Lindsey?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Lindsey?

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

What your quote should include

  • How the colour is matched
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Who will actually do the work

Our hiring checklist

What affects the price in Lindsey

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Lindsey. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the whole bath

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

When we would advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear the area around the damage
