Bath re-enamelling for Lunsford homes

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Bath re-enamelling in Lunsford without replacing anything

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We regularly repair cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are several chips and rust patches and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Questions from Lunsford

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Will there be fumes?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Can I fix it myself?

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 usually cheaper.

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

What we are called out for in Lunsford

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

People usually call us when they notice one of these:

  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

Comparing quotes

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Choosing a repair company

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Lunsford, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Repairing versus replacing in Lunsford

There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take the best part of a day, including clearing up.

  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. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
