Bath re-enamelling in Little Ponton

About our bath re-enamelling in Little Ponton

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Whether it’s enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, we can help, whatever the material.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What we are called out for in Little Ponton

Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.

Common reasons people in Little Ponton contact us include:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Wear marks under the taps

Before booking anyone

  • When it can be used again
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • If travel is included in the price

How to compare quotes

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Never use suction bath mats

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Different materials, different repairs

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.

Roll-top and period baths

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

What we can’t put right

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

  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Little Ponton. What changes the price is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Repairing versus replacing in Little Ponton

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

  • Rooms protected and left tidy

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a full day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

Questions from Little Ponton

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Lincolnshire.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

How long will the bath be out of use?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.

Do you cover the whole of Lincolnshire?

All of Lincolnshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
