Trusted bath re-enamelling in Linton Heath

Bath re-enamelling in Linton Heath without replacing anything

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Our technicians work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and people most frequently call us about a coating lifting around the plughole and chips and rust in more than one place.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

For landlords and businesses

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

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

When to call us in Linton Heath

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Most people contact us after spotting something like this:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

Why repair rather than replace?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • No need to remove anything

Common questions in Linton Heath

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Will the bath be moved?

No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.

How long does re-enamelling last?

Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What we cannot put right

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

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A bath that’s rusted through

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes the best part of a day in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Roll-top and period baths

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