How we handle bath re-enamelling in South Hykeham
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about a coloured bath you want in white and chips and rust in more than one place.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in South Hykeham
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in South Hykeham?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your LN6 postcode.
What affects the price in South Hykeham
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the whole bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Landlords, agents and businesses in South Hykeham
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in South Hykeham use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage
