Need bath re-enamelling in Kames?

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Bath re-enamelling in Kames without replacing anything

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We are frequently asked to fix chips and rust in more than one place and a roll-top that’s seen better days, across pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Repair or replace in Kames?

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day, with the bath back in use the following day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Kames. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One price list for the whole UK

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Kames

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Does the bath have to be removed?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Kames?

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

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will the new finish last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Landlord and trade work in Kames

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

The process

On the day, 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 room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  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 usually ready the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it

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

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A bath split right through the body

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Acrylic

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

When to call us in Kames

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Stains that will not shift
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing

Questions to ask before you book

  • If travel is included in the price
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How the colour is matched
