Bath re-enamelling in Pilsgate

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Holes rusted through the metal

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Bath re-enamelling in Pilsgate, done in place

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Our technicians work on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about wear marks under the taps and staining under the taps and around the waste.

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

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Pilsgate?

Often the bath has just had decades of use. The body of the bath is typically perfectly sound.

Most people contact us when they notice one of these:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How to look after the finish

10 questions to ask before booking

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Pilsgate

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

How long does re-enamelling last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

How long is the bath unusable?

Typically one day, with the bath ready the next day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Pilsgate. The price comes down to:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For a price in Pilsgate, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  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 following day, the bath is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

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’s the part we put right.
