Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Ketton

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Stains that will not shift
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Ketton

Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Whether it’s a roll-top that’s seen better days and a coating lifting around the plughole, we can help, on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths alike.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

FAQs for Ketton

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Does re-enamelling smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a full day, tidy-up included.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Ketton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Ketton, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the following day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally 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.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A bath split right through the body
  • A bath that is rusted through

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
