Bath re-enamelling near Luston

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

About our bath re-enamelling in Luston

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Our technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about worn patches where water runs and sits and an old resurfacing that’s failing.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Herefordshire.

How we price bath re-enamelling

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

The process

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a full day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Related advice

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Luston?

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

Before booking anyone

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What preparation is included
  • How changes to the job are handled

Choosing a repair company

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

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