Bath re-enamelling in Kilmore

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, with the bath ready the next day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

About our bath re-enamelling in Kilmore

We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It generally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. If you are dealing with a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, we can help.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kilmore

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

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

What affects the price in Kilmore

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

How the visit works

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a full day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • A metal bath with a through crack

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

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

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Common questions in Kilmore

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

How long is the bath unusable?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the following day. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you cover Kilmore?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Kilmore. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Kilmore?

Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

What to look for in a quote

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How your room will be protected
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
