How we handle bath re-enamelling in Lythbank

We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Typical jobs include an old resurfacing that’s failing and an outdated colour you’d like to change, across acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Questions from Lythbank

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a full day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  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

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What affects the price in Lythbank

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

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 typically the cheaper route.

Common problems we fix in Lythbank

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

Common reasons people in Lythbank contact us include:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • A coloured bath you want in white

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

10 questions to ask before you book

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
