About our bath re-enamelling in Killisick

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Whether it’s a coating lifting around the plughole and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can help, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Before and after: an old basin refinished to bright white

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

When we would advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

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

Materials we repair

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

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

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

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

FAQs for Killisick

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you need to take the bath out?

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.

How long is the bath unusable?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

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

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Do you cover the whole of Nottinghamshire?

The entire UK, including all of Nottinghamshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

Common problems we fix in Killisick

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is usually as strong as ever.

Customers typically contact us about:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

What to look for in a quote

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace: which is better?

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a full day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
