Bath re-enamelling near Lynemouth

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Lynemouth

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Common call-outs are for a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a coloured bath you want in white, across pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Lynemouth

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Do you cover the entire of Northumberland?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Will it make a mess?

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

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Is there a smell?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a full day. We tidy up before we leave 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

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

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

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

What a repair can’t fix

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Should you replace it?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • A fixed quote before booking

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Lynemouth. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs

For a price in Lynemouth, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
