Trusted bath re-enamelling in Long Sutton

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A picture taken from further back

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

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Long Sutton

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Common call-outs are for a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and worn patches where water runs and sits, in cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a full day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

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

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in Long Sutton

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

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Repair or replace in Long Sutton?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day. Prices start from £350. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Colour-matched on site
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

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

What we cannot put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

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 often lifts.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

Common problems we fix in Long Sutton

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Several chips and rust patches
