Bath re-enamelling near Keevil

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Bath re-enamelling in Keevil without replacing anything

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We’re frequently asked to fix a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and worn patches where water runs and sits, on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why Keevil customers choose us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One price list for the whole UK

See our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Common questions in Keevil

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your BA14 postcode.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Do you cover Keevil?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Keevil. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

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.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Common problems we fix in Keevil

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

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • An old resurfacing that is failing

Questions to ask before booking

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How changes to the job are handled

Choosing a repair company

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Keevil as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Different materials, different repairs

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.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes the best part of a day. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

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