Bath re-enamelling at your home in Potterhanworth

We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the day after. We’re often asked to fix thin, worn enamel in places and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes the best part of a day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

What affects the price in Potterhanworth

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Common questions in Potterhanworth

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Will you leave a mess?

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

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Usually, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Have chips seen to early

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Repairs by material

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’s the part we put right.

Roll-top and period baths

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

Repair or replace in Potterhanworth?

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why us?

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Lincolnshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

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, a professional repair is worth it.
