Bath re-enamelling near Kilnsea

Repairing versus replacing in Kilnsea

Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

About our bath re-enamelling in Kilnsea

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Common call-outs are for chips and rust in more than one place and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, in pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What we are called out for in Kilnsea

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Stains that won’t shift
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • A coloured bath you want in white

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Our hiring checklist

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

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

What we work on

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

Kilnsea questions

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

Do you work in Kilnsea?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Kilnsea for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is there a smell?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Will the new finish last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Kilnsea. What changes the price is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is

We don’t add 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.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in East Riding of Yorkshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
