Bath re-enamelling for Kevington homes

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Kevington

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is typically the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and people most often call us about a coating lifting around the plughole and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

When to call us in Kevington

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

Clients normally contact us about:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Wear marks under the taps

Repairing versus replacing in Kevington

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and generally a day, with the bath back in use the next day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Kevington. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • No need to remove anything

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  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. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Kevington. The price comes down to:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kevington as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
