Trusted bath re-enamelling in Sandholme

Repair or replace in Sandholme?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

About our bath re-enamelling in Sandholme

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about staining under the taps and around the waste and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Landlord and trade work in Sandholme

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

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

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Sandholme questions

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Do you come to Sandholme?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Sandholme. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you cover the whole of Lincolnshire?

Everywhere in the UK, Sandholme included. Travel is included in the price.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Sandholme?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Will you leave a mess?

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • A metal bath with a through crack

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

What affects the price in Sandholme

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
