About our bath re-enamelling in Lypiatt

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We regularly repair cast iron baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are an outdated colour you’d like to change and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Lypiatt and across Bristol.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow most of the day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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.

Common problems we fix in Lypiatt

Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

The things customers usually mention when they call are:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

Comparing quotes

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How soon you can use it again

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

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

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
