Bath re-enamelling in Keadby

About our bath re-enamelling in Keadby

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. If you are dealing with a roll-top that’s seen better days and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can help, whatever the material.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

How it works

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Steel that has corroded right through

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Keadby

Is there a smell?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Choosing a repair company

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

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

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.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

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

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Should you replace it?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Keadby. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • No need to remove anything

See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What affects the price in Keadby

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Keadby. The price reflects:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

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

Getting a price from pictures

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

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 we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
