Bath re-enamelling in Kegworth

Bath re-enamelling in Kegworth without replacing anything

We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It typically takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about a peeling or bubbling previous coating and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Landlord and trade work in Kegworth

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kegworth 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, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Store bottles off the bath

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Steel that has corroded right through

  • Victorian roll-tops

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 generally takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  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
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know about parking or access

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your DE74 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Kegworth questions

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Will the new finish last?

Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Will there be a smell?

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
