Bath re-enamelling for Metheringham Fen homes

About our bath re-enamelling in Metheringham Fen

We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Common call-outs are for chips and rust in more than one place and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, across pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Metheringham Fen

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Lincolnshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Metheringham Fen. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes most of the day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

Common questions in Metheringham Fen

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size

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

What we’re called out for in Metheringham Fen

Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

Before you book anyone

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Aftercare advice
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether they match the colour on site

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
