Bath re-enamelling in Lumbrook

Common questions in Lumbrook

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is there a smell?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the next day. We give you timings with the quote.

Bath re-enamelling in Lumbrook, done in place

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. We’re often asked to fix lots of chips and rust spots and wear marks under the taps, on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Lumbrook and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. 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.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

What we’re called out for in Lumbrook

The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

The things clients normally mention when they call include:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

What your quote should include

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How to look after the finish

The process

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

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

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

Repairing versus replacing in Lumbrook

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
