Bath re-enamelling near Willoughton

Should you replace it?

Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Willoughton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Bath re-enamelling in Willoughton 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. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about a coloured bath you want in white and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Willoughton and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A bath split right through the body

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For a price in Willoughton, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Open a window if you can

Related advice

Willoughton: your questions answered

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Can you quote from photos?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do you cover the whole of Lincolnshire?

Everywhere in the UK, Willoughton included. Travel is included in the price.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

How long does re-enamelling last?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Roll-top and period baths

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

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
