Bath re-enamelling near Kaimend

Common problems we fix in Kaimend

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

Comparing quotes

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Our hiring checklist

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Kaimend

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are several chips and rust patches and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Kaimend: your questions answered

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

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.

Does re-enamelling smell?

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

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Should you replace it?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Kaimend. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Honest limits

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A bath that’s rusted through

Materials we work on in Kaimend

  • Victorian roll-tops

What affects the price in Kaimend

Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
