Bath re-enamelling in Normanby by Stow, done in place

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Our technicians work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are worn patches where water runs and sits and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Lincolnshire.

When to call us in Normanby by Stow

Older baths frequently have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

Look out for these signs:

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

Before you book anyone

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Choosing a repair company

Landlord and trade work in Normanby by Stow

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

Advice

Repairs by material

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.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
