How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Lunt

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Typical jobs include a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and an outdated colour you’d like to change, on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

What your bath is made of matters

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

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Lunt

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

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

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

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

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

Are there extra charges for Lunt?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day, with the bath back in use the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Everything repaired in place

Take a look at our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

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

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

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

Materials we work on in Lunt

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

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Lunt, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

What we’re called out for in Lunt

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.

Common reasons people in Lunt contact us are:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Wear marks under the taps

Comparing quotes

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How long it needs to cure
