Bath re-enamelling near Luddington

Bath re-enamelling in Luddington without replacing anything

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Common call-outs are for a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and lots of chips and rust spots, across Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Luddington and across North Lincolnshire.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

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

What affects the price in Luddington

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Luddington. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Repairing versus replacing in Luddington

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day, with the bath back in use the following day. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What you get with us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Colour-matched on site

When to call us in Luddington

Often the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is typically perfectly sound.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

Our hiring checklist

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

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 normally the cheaper route.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a full day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Luddington questions

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
