Bath re-enamelling near Kemprow

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Bath re-enamelling in Kemprow without replacing anything

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Typical jobs include an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, across acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.

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

Repairing versus replacing in Kemprow

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day, with the bath back in use the next day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Common problems we fix in Kemprow

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

Choosing a repair company

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Kemprow. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

If you’re in Kemprow and want a price, 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.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

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

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take most of the day, including clearing up.

  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.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Kemprow

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Are there extra charges for Kemprow?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Hertfordshire.

What information do you need?

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

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
