Bath re-enamelling in Lymington

Repair or replace in Lymington?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day, with the bath back in use the following day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Lymington

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Are there extra charges for Lymington?

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Landlord and trade work in Lymington

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

When we’d advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A bath that’s rusted through

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Lymington

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Have chips seen to early

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

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Lymington?

The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How changes to the job are handled

Choosing a repair company

What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take most of the day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
