About our bath re-enamelling in Old Bolingbroke

The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It usually takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a coloured bath you want in white.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Old Bolingbroke and across Lincolnshire.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Old Bolingbroke use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Old Bolingbroke?

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, generally first under the taps and around the waste.

People usually call us after spotting something like this:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

Our hiring checklist

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

FAQs for Old Bolingbroke

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

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the next day. We give you timings with the quote.

Is there a smell?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes the best part of a day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Related advice

Repairs by material

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 is the part we put right.

Repair or replace in Old Bolingbroke?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
