About our bath re-enamelling in Lufton

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. If you are dealing with brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can generally put it right, on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays alike.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Honest limits

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

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A bath that’s rusted through

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

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace in Lufton?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Lufton

Older baths frequently have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

Customers normally contact us about:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

Questions to ask before you book

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How your room will be protected
  • When it can be used again
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

10 questions to ask before booking

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lufton

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Somerset and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Store bottles off the bath

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  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 until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

If you are in Lufton and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
