Bath re-enamelling in Martin Dales

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Martin Dales

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. If you are dealing with lots of chips and rust spots and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can help, on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What we cannot put right

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Martin Dales

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How the colour is matched
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Choosing a repair company

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Martin Dales, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

How we price bath re-enamelling

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

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

FAQs for Martin Dales

Is there a smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

How long will the bath be out of use?

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

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Do you cover Martin Dales?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Martin Dales and the rest of Lincolnshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

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 happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
