Bath re-enamelling in Tattershall

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Tattershall

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Whether it’s chips and rust in more than one place and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can help, on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths alike.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Lincolnshire.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Common problems we fix in Tattershall

Often the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

Choosing a repair company

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tattershall use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A bath that’s rusted through

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Tattershall: your questions answered

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Tattershall and the rest of Lincolnshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Will there be fumes?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your LN4 postcode.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Tattershall. The price comes down to:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a full day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
