Bath re-enamelling at your home in Keswick

We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It usually takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We’re frequently asked to fix chips and rust in more than one place and staining under the taps and around the waste, in basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.

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

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Keswick

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Keswick

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used 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. 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.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Advice

Common problems we fix in Keswick

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

What to look for in a quote

  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What aftercare is recommended

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface without moving it. Prices start from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Keswick. What changes the price is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish

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.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
