About our bath re-enamelling in Keythorpe

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about a coating lifting around the plughole and chips and rust in more than one place.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

What affects the price in Keythorpe

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually 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

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Never use suction bath mats

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes the best part of a day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Keythorpe?

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

People typically call us when they notice something like this:

  • Stains that won’t shift
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A coloured bath you want in white

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price covers travel

Choosing a repair company

What we cannot put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • A metal bath with a through crack

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

FAQs for Keythorpe

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

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Keythorpe included. Travel is included in the price.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the following day. We give you timings with the quote.

Will there be fumes?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Repairing versus replacing in Keythorpe

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Landlord and trade work in Keythorpe

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
