Bath re-enamelling in Lyng

Bath re-enamelling in Lyng, done in place

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. If you are dealing with chips and rust in more than one place and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can help, on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths alike.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How we price bath re-enamelling

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

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Lyng. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:

  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lyng

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

The process

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a full day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Have chips seen to early

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Should you replace it?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • No need to remove anything
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 generally cheaper.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

When to call us in Lyng

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

What your quote should include

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Choosing a repair company

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Lyng questions

How long is the bath unusable?

Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Generally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
