What happens on the day

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 tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

Most clients in Lyndon get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Lyndon

If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are chips and rust in more than one place and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Lyndon

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.

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

Questions to ask before booking

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

Common questions in Lyndon

Do you come to Lyndon?

We do. Technicians travel to Lyndon from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A photo taken from further back

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
