Bath Re-enamelling in Skillington
Problem with your bath in Skillington? We put it right where it is, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.

- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
What your bath is made of matters
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.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Bath re-enamelling in Skillington without replacing anything
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Our repair technicians work on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people contact us are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Lincolnshire.

The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a full day.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Repair or replace in Skillington?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- One price list for the whole UK
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For a price in Skillington, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
