Bath re-enamelling in Lingards Wood without replacing anything

We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the day after. If you’re dealing with a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and thin, worn enamel in places, we can help, whatever the material.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Lingards Wood as everywhere else we work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes most of the day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Work for landlords and builders

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

For anyone letting property in or around Lingards Wood, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

What we cannot put right

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

  • A bath split right through the body
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Lingards Wood. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Lingards Wood. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the next day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Work done at your home or business
  • We leave the room as we found it

Lingards Wood: your questions answered

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Lingards Wood?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your HD7 postcode.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

What we are called out for in Lingards Wood

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • A coloured bath you want in white

What to look for in a quote

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
