Trusted bath re-enamelling in Waddington

Bath re-enamelling in Waddington without replacing anything

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath in a colour that no longer suits and lots of chips and rust spots.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Waddington

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Common reasons people in Waddington contact us are:

  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Stains that will not shift

10 questions to ask before booking

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

The process

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Open a window if you can

Common questions in Waddington

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Lincolnshire.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

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

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Waddington

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
