Bath re-enamelling in North Somercotes without replacing anything

We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Whether it’s a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can help, on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays alike.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What affects the price in North Somercotes

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

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in North Somercotes, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Surfaces we repair

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

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a full day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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 prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Store bottles off the bath

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in North Somercotes

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is usually perfectly sound.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

What your quote should include

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How soon you can use it again

10 questions to ask before booking

Questions from North Somercotes

Can pets and children be at home?

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

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in North Somercotes use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
