Need bath re-enamelling in Melton Ross?

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Melton Ross

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We regularly repair cast iron baths, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are a coating lifting around the plughole and stains that won’t shift.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that 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.

Common problems we fix in Melton Ross

The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

The things customers normally mention when they call are:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Stains that will not shift
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

What your quote should include

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How to care for the finish
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Our hiring checklist

Landlord and trade work in Melton Ross

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Melton Ross as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Melton Ross questions

Do you cover the entire of Lincolnshire?

The whole UK, including all of Lincolnshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

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.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Melton Ross?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

Will there be fumes?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes most of the day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

Repairing versus replacing in Melton Ross

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

What affects the price in Melton Ross

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
