Bath re-enamelling near Lyne

Bath re-enamelling in Lyne without replacing anything

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Typical jobs include a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, across Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.

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

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a full day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for 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 you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Advice

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.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We leave the room as we found it

Lyne: your questions answered

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Surrey, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Lyne?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Will the new finish last?

Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

Will the bath be moved?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Is there a smell?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

When to call us in Lyne

Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, usually first under the taps and around the waste.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • Wear marks under the taps

Questions to ask before you book

  • What prep work is covered
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the entire bath

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
