Landlords, agents and businesses in Sleaford
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sleaford use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
What else we do in Sleaford
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day, with the bath back in use the following day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Sleaford
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Sleaford.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to the best part of a day, tidy-up included.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the day after.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your GU35 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
