Bath re-enamelling near Manby

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Manby

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. If you’re dealing with brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and an old resurfacing that’s failing, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

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 most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

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

Advice

What we’re called out for in Manby

Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.

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

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

Questions to ask before booking

  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

How to compare quotes

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

What a repair can’t fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A metal bath with a through crack

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Manby

Repairing versus replacing in Manby

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Normally one visit, start to finish

Manby: your questions answered

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Does re-enamelling smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

Do you cover the entire of Lincolnshire?

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

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

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

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
