Bath re-enamelling for Seagrave homes

Bath re-enamelling in Seagrave without replacing anything

If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is typically the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Typical jobs include enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and lots of chips and rust spots, across basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes most of the day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Roll-top and period baths

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

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Seagrave

If you manage property in Seagrave, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

When to call us in Seagrave

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

Questions to ask before you book

  • When it can be used again
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How changes to the job are handled

10 questions to ask before booking

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Common questions in Seagrave

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Seagrave?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your LE12 postcode.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

How long does re-enamelling last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Do you come to Seagrave?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Seagrave and the rest of Leicestershire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A bath split right through the body
