Bath re-enamelling in Ludford

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Ludford

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. If you’re dealing with an outdated colour you’d like to change and a coating lifting around the plughole, we can normally put it right.

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

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes the best part of a day in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Ludford: your questions answered

Do you work in Ludford?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Ludford and the rest of Shropshire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you quote from photos?

Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Does the bath have to be removed?

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

Common problems we fix in Ludford

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

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Stains that will not shift
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Wear marks under the taps

Questions to ask before you book

  • How to look after the finish
  • How long it needs to cure
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Who turns up on the day

10 questions to ask before you book

Repair or replace in Ludford?

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

See our prices page or bath cost comparison.

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

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

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

When we would advise against a repair

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • A bath split right through the body
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

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

Materials we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

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.
