Bath re-enamelling near Kettle Corner

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

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

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Kettle Corner

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. If you’re dealing with an old resurfacing that’s failing and wear marks under the taps, we can help.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Common questions in Kettle Corner

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you come to Kettle Corner?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Kettle Corner from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Kettle Corner?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your ME15 postcode.

Will the new finish last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Why repair rather than replace?

There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

What we are called out for in Kettle Corner

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

What your quote should include

  • How your room will be protected
  • How soon you can use it again
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What prep work is covered

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Honest limits

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A metal bath with a through crack

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

How it works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your ME15 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
