When to call us in Kempsey

Often the bath has just had decades of use. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Wear marks under the taps

Questions to ask before you book

  • How to care for the finish
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What happens if they find more damage

How to compare quotes

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Kempsey

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes most of the day for most jobs. 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. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  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

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear the area around the damage

Should you replace it?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day, with the bath back in use the day after. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

Kempsey questions

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Will the new finish last?

Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

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

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Kempsey.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

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

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Something in shot to show the size

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Never use suction bath mats

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
