How we handle bath re-enamelling in Kelbrook

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. Our technicians work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are chips and rust in more than one place and a coating lifting around the plughole.

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

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Kelbrook

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off

Questions to ask before you book

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

10 questions to ask before you book

Why repair rather than replace?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take most of the day. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do I have to be there?

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode

For a price in Kelbrook, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
