Need bath re-enamelling in Lumb Foot?

What a repair cannot fix

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

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

Materials we repair

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

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Lumb Foot

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Whether it’s a coloured bath you want in white and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can help.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to the best part of a day.

  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 day after.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Repairing versus replacing in Lumb Foot

Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why Lumb Foot customers choose us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

Lumb Foot questions

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

How long does re-enamelling last?

Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Lumb Foot?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
