Bath re-enamelling for North Luffenham homes

Bath re-enamelling in North Luffenham, done in place

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Our repair technicians work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Landlords, agents and businesses in North Luffenham

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A bath split right through the body

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

What we’re called out for in North Luffenham

The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • An old resurfacing that is failing

FAQs for North Luffenham

Do you need to take the bath out?

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

Does re-enamelling smell?

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

Do I have to be there?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Most clients in North Luffenham get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, with the bath ready the following day. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.
