Bath re-enamelling at your home in Lyneal

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. Whether it’s several chips and rust patches and an old resurfacing that’s failing, we can help, on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops alike.

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

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Lyneal?

Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

10 questions to ask before you book

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and generally a day. Prices start from £350. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Lyneal

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • No need to remove anything
  • One price list for the whole UK

See our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Lyneal. What changes the price is:

  • The material
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lyneal as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes most of the day. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Open a window if you can

What we cannot put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A bath that’s rusted through

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Lyneal

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

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
