Need bath re-enamelling in Kettlestone?

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Kettlestone

Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Typical jobs include a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and thin, worn enamel in places, across Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Common problems we fix in Kettlestone

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days

How to compare quotes

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Common questions in Kettlestone

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Usually, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Will there be fumes?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

What a repair can’t fix

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • A bath that is rusted through
  • A metal bath with a through crack

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

How it works

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes the best part of a day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Kettlestone, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in Kettlestone

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

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the following day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
