Trusted bath re-enamelling in Kearsney

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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.

Why Kearsney clients choose us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

What we are called out for in Kearsney

Older baths frequently have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • A coloured bath you want in white

Choosing a repair company

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Kearsney. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Acrylic

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kearsney

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Kearsney: your questions answered

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Do you come to Kearsney?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Kearsney for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
