Bath re-enamelling in Lugar

Bath re-enamelling in Lugar, done in place

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Our technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are a coating lifting around the plughole and stains that won’t shift.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Questions from Lugar

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Generally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a full day.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

What affects the price in Lugar

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is

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

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Work for landlords and builders

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.

Letting agents frequently send us photos 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.

Common problems we fix in Lugar

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

Common reasons people in Lugar contact us include:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How the colour is matched
  • How your room will be protected

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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.
