Bath re-enamelling in Lolworth, done in place

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, 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 regularly repair acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most frequently call us about an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and several chips and rust patches.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Lolworth and across Cambridgeshire.

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a full day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Advice

Repairing versus replacing in Lolworth

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why Lolworth clients choose us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Work done at your home or business
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

See our full price list and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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 usually the cheaper route.

Common problems we fix in Lolworth

Older baths frequently have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

How to compare quotes

Lolworth: your questions answered

Does the bath have to be removed?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Lolworth?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

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.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Store bottles off the bath

Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lolworth

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

When we’d advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
