How we handle bath re-enamelling in Upton

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Whether it’s an outdated colour you’d like to change and a coating lifting around the plughole, we can help.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Lincolnshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Upton use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A bath that’s rusted through

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Basins & shower trays
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Acrylic baths
  • Cast iron baths
  • Pressed steel baths

What we are called out for in Upton

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • What aftercare is recommended

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in Upton

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Advice

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Upton

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

How long does re-enamelling last?

Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Are there extra charges for Upton?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
