Bath re-enamelling in Lotherton

About our bath re-enamelling in Lotherton

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and people most often call us about a roll-top that’s seen better days and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

If you manage property in Lotherton, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A bath split right through the body

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in Lotherton

Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • No extra charge for your area

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Lotherton

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Lotherton.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed quote. There is no obligation to book.

Do you need to take the bath out?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

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

How long is the bath unusable?

One day for most baths, ready the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

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

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.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

What affects the price in Lotherton

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
