How we handle bath re-enamelling in Killen

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the day after. Nothing is disconnected or removed. If you are dealing with a coloured bath you want in white and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can normally put it right, on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays alike.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

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

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Killen

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Killen?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Will the bath be moved?

No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Landlord and trade work in Killen

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Why repair rather than replace?

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  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. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What affects the price in Killen

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Killen. The price depends on:
