About our bath re-enamelling in South Somercotes
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about lots of chips and rust spots and thin, worn enamel in places.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Lincolnshire.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in South Somercotes
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
People normally call us when they notice one of these:
- Stains that won’t shift
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
Comparing quotes
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
What happens on the day

- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.

Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Other services in South Somercotes
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
