Bath re-enamelling in Lound

Bath re-enamelling in Lound without replacing anything

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We are frequently asked to fix a coating lifting around the plughole and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Colour-matched on site

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Store bottles off the bath

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

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 to keep costs down.

Questions from Lound

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Do you work in Lound?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Lound and the rest of Nottinghamshire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How long is the bath unusable?

Generally one day, with the bath ready the day after. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Will the new finish last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Lound.

How it works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Lound. The price comes down to:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Most clients in Lound get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
