Bath re-enamelling near Ludworth

Common questions in Ludworth

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Ludworth

If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We’re frequently asked to fix an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, in pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.

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

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

When to call us in Ludworth

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:

  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • Stains that won’t shift

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether they match the colour on site

10 questions to ask before you book

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a full day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Repair or replace in Ludworth?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

When we would advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
