Bath re-enamelling in Kennishead

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

About our bath re-enamelling in Kennishead

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. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a bath in a colour that no longer suits and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Kennishead. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed price

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A picture taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the whole surface without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price 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.

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

Choosing a repair company

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a full day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Questions from Kennishead

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Is there a smell?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
