Trusted bath re-enamelling in Market Deeping

How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to the best part of a day.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Advice

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Market Deeping

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We are frequently asked to fix a bath in a colour that no longer suits and stains that won’t shift, across pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

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.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Market Deeping

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will the new finish last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Market Deeping.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Market Deeping?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your PE6 postcode.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For a price in Market Deeping, 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.

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Cast iron

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

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Have chips seen to early
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

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 typically the cheaper route.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

  • Stains that will not shift
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
