Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Lyndhurst

We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We’re often asked to fix enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and staining under the taps and around the waste, in cast iron baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Lyndhurst

Often the bath has just had decades of use. The body of the bath is normally perfectly sound.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

Before booking anyone

  • Who turns up on the day
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Choosing a repair company

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Repair or replace in Lyndhurst?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why Lyndhurst clients choose us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Read our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What bath re-enamelling costs

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

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We don’t add 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.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

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

Materials we work on in Lyndhurst

  • Basins & shower trays
  • Pressed steel baths

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes most of the day for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: 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.
