Bath re-enamelling in Westwoods

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Westwoods

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We work on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most frequently call us about chips and rust in more than one place and stains that won’t shift.

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

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A bath split right through the body

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

Materials we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • The material, if you know it

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Should you replace it?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Common questions in Westwoods

How long is the bath unusable?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Westwoods?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Will the bath be moved?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Westwoods?

Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Several chips and rust patches

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Westwoods

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

If you manage property in Westwoods, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Have chips seen to early

Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

The process

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for most of the day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  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

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
